The tactic failed: the police and army fired back indiscriminately, even using a helicopter gunship equipped with American-supplied night-vision goggles. Ninety-two policemen and about 100 Maoists died in this...
...achieve Year Zero, a reference to the Khmer Rouge genocide that was to clear the way for a socialist utopia.
