Re: Khmer Rouge book
Not sure that it ever made it into printed book form, but you can Google “The Right and Wrong of Democratic Kampuchea".
The results will give you a pdf copy of an interview by Nate Thayer.
Though it was printed in the Far Eastern Economic Review in October 30, 1997.

Q: But for all those hundreds of thousands who suffered - not just died but suffered from forced labor, from lack of food, from what were clearly failed central policies while you were in power - don't you think that they deserve an apology?
A: For the wrong things of our struggle, as I told you, for the wrong things, it has been written in the book. This is a testimony before history.
Q: Which book?
A: The book is the "The Right and Wrong of Democratic Kampuchea". [Pol Pot was apparently referring to a political tract released by the Democratic Kampuchea movement, as the Khmer Rouge calls themselves, in the late 1980s.]
his interview
I would like the actual .pdf publication the right and wrong of democratic Kampuchea. but I’m not very hopeful

Re: Khmer Rouge book
In that case, it will most likely be written in Khmer. Or possibly in French.

Re: Khmer Rouge book
The Communist Party of Kampuchea's central committee did not publish any books. They published Padevat, a magazine for cadres, and a white paper on the conflict with Vietnam, but no books.
Democratic Kampuchea was the official name for the country from 1975-79. After the Vietnamese invasion they renamed themselves the "Party of Democratic Kampuchea".
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Khmer Rouge book
I could message him, but how would that help? If this "book" existed it would have been quoted in many studies, but the only mention of it seems to be from an interview with the ailing notorious liar Pol Pot.
