About This Book
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.
