Description
Six American prisoners were held at the Krong R'buk detention camp, a March 1971 item reports, in a Cambodian district the title cuts short. Detention camps in Cambodia's east held men captured as the war spread across the border in 1970. Conditions in such camps were rough and poorly documented.
Naming the camp and its count of Americans gave officials a concrete target for follow-up. Six men at one site could be checked against recent border losses. The report also shows captivity becoming a Cambodian story, not only a Vietnamese one. Its details preserve a camp that few outsiders ever saw.
