Duch was the first Khmer Rouge leader to be tried for his crimes, by an international tribunal in Phnom Penh. Having stumbled on the story of murdered Stuart Glass, the author travels to Cambodia to watch Duch testify; interview former Tuol Sleng guards and investigate the death of the 'Western' yachtsmen.
But 'truth' is elusive. Foxy Lady will appeal to students of Asian history, political psychology and conflict studies. Journalists, adventure travellers, Indochina war buffs and lovers of popular culture, adventure travel and narrative non-fiction will want to read this book too.

Westerns Paperback Signed Books. Three young men were aboard — laid-back western adventurers in their late twenties. Two of them owned the boat, the third was along for the ride. They had left Kuala Terengganu on the east coast of the Malaysian Peninsula six days previously, and were making their way north about kilometres across the Gulf to Bangkok, the capital of Thailand - perhaps, on a "Thai stick" run.
For some never-to-be-known reason, the boat was now a long way off course, close to the coast of Cambodia — or Democratic Kampuchea, as it was then called — a country which had been in the vicious grip of the Khmer Rouge for three devastating years.
The three men may have made the fateful decision to get in close to land in order to grab some photographs of the coastline one of them fancied himself a bit of a photo-journalist ; or they may have been blown off course by a storm. Or, perhaps, it was merely a matter of some rather sloppy navigating. Whatever the cause may have been, it brought severe and fatal consequences.
The young Cambodian sailors, Khmer Rouge zealots, transferred them to the gunboat and raced back to base. Foxy Lady , apparently, was abandoned — left to drift on the waves. A day or two later, the captives were moved by truck to the capital, Phnom Penh. His had been a quick death.

About eight months later he reported the results of his preliminary research in a feature article for The Globe and Mail in Toronto August 16, But he knew he had the subject here for a book - his first book. The result of his long, four-year investigation is the book under review here: This is an ambitious work.
Focused primarily on the life and times of Stuart Glass, one of the co-owners of Foxy Lady the other was New Zealander Kerry Hamill , it also gives you the history of Cambodia, charting the rise of the communist tyranny that was the Khmer Rouge - a small band of paranoid, psychopathic killers who laid waste to their own country.

Collective farms were run with forced labour by people who knew nothing about agriculture. People were driven to exhaustion and then died easily of disease or starvation. But the first part of the book is focused on the early life of Stuart, growing up in British Columbia. Kattenburg interviewed his mother and members of the extended family.
So he started to travel. He went to England, met a young woman who was also attracted to a life of travel and adventure — Susan Everard. Stuart made visits down to Morocco, and started smuggling hashish back to England. Again, the detail is immense; and coming at this stuff for the first time, it is difficult to follow the author's endless descriptions of the machinations amongst the various groups of Khmer Rouge leadership, at the local, regional and national levels.
