Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This is the first book that provides a popular guide to the fascinating story of Laos. Drawing on his extensive research, the acclaimed historian of Laos, Professor Emeritus Martin Stuart-Fox, has written the authoritative text that weaves together centuries of history and legend. His account tells of cities built, destroyed and resurrected. "Naga Cities of the Mekong" focuses on the three Lao capitals situated along the mighty Mekong River - Luang Phrabang in the north, Viang Chan (Vientiane) in the centre and Champasak in the south. Stuart-Fox traces the fortunes of each capital from their legend-rich founding, their years under French colonialism, through the people's struggle for independence, war and revolution, on to the creation of the contemporary state. At the same time, Stuart-Fox tells of the unwavering Lao belief in the ever-vigilant nagas, and the roles they play as guides and protectors. The arresting pictures that accompany this lively study are by former "Time-Life" photographer, Steve Northup. A guide to the fascinating story of Laos.
