Title: A History of Laos by Martin Stuart-Fox ISBN: 0521597463 Publisher: Cambridge University Press Pub. Date: November, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $20.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5
Rating: 4
Summary: A good book, but more academic than I was hoping for.
Comment: This book is bascially a mid-upper division college text on the development of Modern Laos from the 1800's to the present. A fine book on the recent history of Laos, the author strives to be fair and evenhanded in placing responsibility for the various troubles plaguing the country. However, I would have liked more general background on the country, especially the history that predated European contact. Only the history necessary to explain some modern interactions is present from that period. More maps and figures would have been nice as well. Only four maps and no figures are present, and the author refers to many locations that aren't listed explictly on the maps. The type is set rather close as well, making for a bit of a strain in reading. That said, the information was well laid out and seemed very well researched. I learned a great deal about the development of modern Laos.
Rating: 5
Summary: The definitive modern history
Comment: Martin Stuart-Fox has produced a concise, comprehensive account of Lao history, with emphasis on the revolutionary and post-revolutionary eras. Stuart-Fox is arguably the leading English-language expert on the history of Laos, and this work proves it; his book is meticulously researched and skillfully written.
