Synopsis

Journey in Indo-China follows the route taken by the author, Lord Lamington, through Southeast Asia from Bangkok to Tonkin on a journey that coincided with the Franco-Siamese War of 1893. Documenting the sights, sounds, and sensory experiences encountered during the trip, the author provides rich descriptions of cities, villages, and landscapes as he traverses the region. The book incorporates political and historical analysis, as the author considers the local impacts of colonialism and trade on the countries and communities he encounters. Through the inclusion of maps detailing the author’s chosen route, the book provides both adventure and an in-depth understanding of the region during a period of significant change.
