A comprehensive history of Laos from the pre-modern dynastic era to the present day. Perhaps the least known country in mainland Southeast Asia, Laos stands at the region's crossroads, surrounded by China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Burma between which it has often acted as a bridge.
Laos, perhaps the least known country in mainland Southeast Asia, stands at the region's crossroads. This small 'land in between' is surrounded by China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Burma-countries that, in pre-modern times, provided Lao kings with a field for territorial expansion.

A Short History of Laos is an ideal introduction to Laos for travellers, businesspeople and students. For those familiar with Lao history, Evans investigates key events in new ways and presents serious challenges to conventional views about Laos' intriguing history. country's past.
