...Germans inexplicably forgot their manners. A main offender was Conrad Ahlers, the former Der Spiegel newsmagazine editor who now is the Federal Republic's deputy spokesman.

It soon becomes apparent that she is the unwitting dupe in a super-sinister effort to detach the nation's western provinces and thereby create a state allied to the West. (In that, there were striking parallels to an alleged anti-Sihanouk plot of 1959). Among the super-dupers are South Vietnamese intelligence agents, a corrupt Cambodian general, one of Monique's Latin aides and, inevitably...
