Paperback. Condition: New. Between the ninth and thirteenth centuries CE, the Khmer empire covered much of present-day Thailand and Laos as well as Cambodia. Today the stone temple complexes, often engulfed in jungle, are all that remain of the once powerful Khmer civilization. Drawing on temple inscriptions and the 13th-century writings of a visiting Chinese official, this richly illustrated volume presents a history of the Khmer people and the seat of power at Angkor.
