Paperback. Condizione: New. no dj.

Since various semi-independent states in present-day Southern Laos and Cambodia were under the sovereignty of, and paid tribute to, the King of Siam, Siamese military units were once again confronting the dominant colonial power, France, at the borders. The author, Captain P. Cupet, was a member of the famous Pavie Mission and studied the politics as well as the ethnography and anthropology of the tribes for years.

Accompanying maps by Auguste Pavie can be found in the Atlas of the Pavie Mission. Book.…
