This book is an account of Peter and Sanda Simms' travels in the Kingdom of Laos, way back in 1955. It captures the culture, tradition and the atmosphere of a time when the people there were still fully immersed in their centuries of colourful customs, folklore and rituals.The outside world had left the kingdom on their own for centuries, but there were already signs of profound and destructive changes to come.The book brings to life the every-day world of the Laotians and their attitude of helpful curiosity towards the authors. The landscape that they travelled through described vividly, comes to life as they walk, ride horses or are given lifts by the Royal Laotian army. Their eye for humour added many light-hearted moments during their journey, but these were also interleaved with some more serious episodes. Much of the danger was in trying to avoid the Pathet Lao and Vietminh forces who were very trigger happy.Reading the book, you will feel like you are there; experiencing the excitement, joy and a few tribulations too.Peter and Sanda were journalists and their publications, jointly and singly, have been well-known for many years. Their astute knowledge of the politics of Southeast Asia will add background understanding to the turmoil that followed in later years.

Laos has the smallest population, the weakest military, and despite rapid economic growth in recent years, one of the lowest levels of per capita income in mainland Southeast Asia. Yet a glance at the map reveals its strategic location, between China and Cambodia and Thailand and Vietnam. As Laos was formerly a crossroads for trade routes, the socialist government of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic seeks to transform the country into a prosperous crossroads at the heart of this rapidly developing region. Historical Dictionary of Laos, Fourth Edition provides an in-depth examination of one of the least-known countries in Southeast Asia through a detailed chronology, comprehensive introduction, and extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1,000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book will be an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Laos.

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.

This authoritative and wide-ranging 1997 history traces events in this little-known country from ancient monarchy, through its establishment as a French colony, to independence in 1953, the People's Democratic Republic, and the present one-party authoritarianism. The book highlights Laos' complex and shifting political alliances. The struggle for independence from France was followed by a struggle for unity and neutrality in the face of persistent foreign intervention, as the country was drawn into the war in Vietnam. Only with the end of the Cold War and the withdrawal of Vietnamese troops has Laos been able to reassert its neutral foreign policy and develop a market economy. This book is an impressive political, social, cultural and economic history. It will be essential for anyone wanting to understand Laos as it joins ASEAN, faces great economic challenges and struggles to maintain its cultural identity.
