extra resources :)

In order to have a successful academic paper one must get multiple resources other than that of materials found on the web. As I add to my resource bullpen these sources expand on my topic and add new elements to the dynamic relationship of opinion and factual evidence. I found this source via an academic search portal known as Lexis Nexis.
Short, Philip. Pol Pot : Anatomy of a Nightmare. Boston: Henry Holt & Company, 2005
Philip Short is a brilliant author that looks in dept into one of the worlds most vicious leaders; Pol Pot from Cambodia. This man devastated his his nation by turning against his own. This source will add an immense amount of detail to my paper.

Another great source that I stumbled upon was that on the Armenian genocide. Genocide has plagued the world seen throughout history and continues today. The Armenian genocide is one that is often overlooked however 1.5 million Armenians have died.
Akcam, Taner. From Empire to Republic : Turkish Nationalism and the Armenian Genocide. First ed. Vol. 1. New York: Zed Books, Limited, 2004.
Akcam analysis the genocide from and interesting perspect; that of the Turkish nationalist side from the Ottoman Empire and also the side of the Armenians. It is a very interesting point of view and will be a great source of research information that will add depth to my top of writing.


An extra 2 sources for documentation and later usage:

Chandler, David P. Brother Number One : A Political Biography of Pol Pot. First ed. Vol. 1. New York: Perseus Books Group, 1992.


Sarafian, Ara. United States Official Records on the Armenian Genocide : 2004. Ed. Ara Sarafian. First ed. Vol. 1. New York: Gomidas Institute Books, 2004.
