This is a history of the Khmers, the people who for thousands of years inhabited the wooded interior of Cambodia. One hundred and fifty years ago the representatives of imperial France were astonished to find half-buried within the jungle the still magnificent ruins of vast temples. Justly described as one of the wonders of the world, these were the remnants of the once great Angkor empire. Since then archaeologists and historians have attempted to piece together its history. This book presents the result of these endeavours in the first account of the history of Khmer civilization to be published for many years.

"The Civilization of Angkor is remarkable and unique in that it delves into the prehistoric roots of the civilization. Higham is THE international authority on southeast Asian archaeology, and presents an up-to-date and provocative synthesis of Angkor."--Brian Fagan, author of Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations, and co-editor of The Oxford Companion to Archaeology. "In blending archaeological and documentary data to chronicle the rise of this important Southeast Asian state, Higham's rich history of Angkor effectively refutes traditional models of state development in the Mekong region and offers insights regarding the nature of Angkor and the processes that led to its emergence."--Miriam Stark, Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Hawai'i and editor of The Archaeology of Social Boundaries

This Kings of Angkor brings to life the story of the Khmer, the builders of Angkor Wat, the Bayon, and numerous other world renown temples. As with Robert Smith's other novels in the Southeast Asia trilogy ("The Kings of Ayutthaya," and "The Kings of the Toungoo Empire,") the story of the Ankorian civilization is told by re-imagining and dramatizing the exploits of its rulers by building on the historical record left on temple carvings, in written accounts, and from archeological research.It was a time of kings. The novel commences as the future King Jayavarman II forged his kingdom from the weakening influence of the Sailendra Kingdom of Java who occupied the lands of Kambujadesa (Cambodia). His declaration of himself as Devaraja, "The Lord of the Universe who is King," laid the foundation for the birth and future growth of the Khmer Empire. He sets the seeds for an empire not matched in size in southeast Asia until the Burman Toungoo Empire under King Bayinnaung many centuries later.The novel progresses through the time of the successive "varman" kings. Times of religion and religious conflict, of greed, betrayal, death, and internecine strife that run alongside those of loyalty, ingenuity, and determination. The building of temples and barays (reservoirs) are the legacies left that visitors flock to Angkor to see but these do not tell the full story. The novel places these structures, and the events surrounding them, in a context that is made understandable, and enjoyable, for the reader.All empires fall. The novel traces the rise and fall of an empire from its beginnings in 802 A.D. to its fall to the kingdom of Ayutthaya in 1431 A.D. The focus is on the "varman" kings, the builders of Angkor and the kings who took it to its greatest achievements. The decline of the empire was gradual but ended in a bloodbath, similar in many ways, to that leveled by the Burman king, King Hsinbyushin on Ayutthaya in 1767 A.D.The story dramatizes the famous figures in Angkorian history through dialogue, description, and narration while following the historical record as closely as possible, but adding the creative touch of the author. If you have visited or intend to visit Cambodia and Angkor Wat this book makes an ideal companion andplaces what you see in context..Support material for the novel can be found at www.thekingsofayutthaya.com/thekingsofangkor. Robert Smith is a writer living in Phitsanulok, Thailand. He specializes in historical fiction.

"Angkor, the temple and palace complex of the ancient Khmer capital in Cambodiais one of the world's most famous monuments. Hundreds of thousands oftourists from all over the globe visit Angkor Park, one of the finest UNESCO WorldHeritage Sites, every year. Since its UNESCO listing in 1992, the Angkor regionhas experienced an overwhelming mushrooming of hotels and restaurants; theinfrastructure has been hardly able to cope with the rapid growth of mass tourismand its needs. This applies to the access and use of monument sites as well. The authors of this book critically describe and analyse the heritage nominationprocesses in Cambodia, especially in the case of Angkor and the temple ofPreah Vihear on the Cambodian/Thai border. They examine the implications theUNESCO listings have had with regard to the management of Angkor Park andits inhabitants on the one hand, and to the Cambodian/Thai relationships on theother. Furthermore, they address issues of development through tourism thatUNESCO has recognised as a welcome side-effect of heritage listings. They raisethe question whether development through tourism deepens already existinginequalities rather than contributing to the promotion of the poor"--Publisher's description.

Jacquie Mouhot and Paaku the Lotus-Born are divided by six centuries but linked by a common curse. In medieval Cambodia, Paaku is an orphan whose community believes he may be a reluctant incarnation of a god, causing sectarian turmoil for the kingdom's leaders. Meanwhile, in 1921, Jacquie follows the footsteps of her grandfather, a famous explorer, to Indochina, where she becomes immersed in the tragedy of Paaku's history: a story simultaneously unfolding in the intertwined present and past, a story in which she still has a vital role to play.
