A history of the great Lao kingdom that flourished in the middle Mekong region between the 14th and 18th centuries. Chapters deal with prehistory of Laos, the Tai-Lao migrations, Vietnamese and Burmese invasions and the arrival of the first Europeans, the breakup of the Lao kingdom, the significance of the Lao-Siamese war of 1827-28, and the French annexation of Lao territories in 1893.
First Published in 1991.During its last decades, the Kingdom of Laos was inhabited by a gentle people with a few astonishingly able leaders. When the Vietnamese war monopolized American headlines, the little country became famous for the wrong reasons. This book was conceived as an attempt to tell of the Laos the author knew: its people, its culture, its history as he does not want the kingdom to disappear without some written record of why it was so special.
