Am Rong
Am Rong (1929 - May 1975)〔Corfield, J and Summers, L. ''Historical dictionary of Cambodia'', Scarecrow Press, 2003, p.9〕 was a Cambodian soldier and filmmaker, who acted as a spokesman on military matters for the Khmer Republic during the Cambodian Civil War. Western journalists commented on the irony of his name as he gave briefings which "painted a rosy picture of the increasingly desperate situation on the ground" during the war.〔''Lonely Planet Guide: Cambodia'' p.33〕〔Becker p.15〕
==Career==
Rong was born in Battambang to a farming family, and was initially educated at the Royal School of Administration. He joined the Cambodian army in 1953 and served as a paratrooper from 1956.〔Corfield and Summers, p.9〕
Henry Kamm, characterised Rong as "affable and intelligent". He studied film in France at the IDHEC, the French state film school from 1962 to 1964.〔Kamm, H. ''Cambodia: Report from a stricken land'', Arcade, 1998, p.61〕 Given that Cambodia's then-ruler Prince Norodom Sihanouk had considered himself the premier filmmaker of the country and did not appreciate rivals, Rong found himself commissioned major, and the army "created a film unit consisting of one lonely major, who had little to do".〔Kamm, p.62〕 He was later given the job of giving official war briefings to foreign journalists. By the end of the war, he had been promoted to general, and a subordinate had been made information minister.〔Kamm, p.62〕
Am Rong was killed by the Khmer Rouge at some point after the fall of Phnom Penh in April, 1975.〔(Cambodian Genocide Program page on Am Rong )〕
