{"product_id":"a-history-of-laos-martin-stuart-fox-9780521592352","title":"A History of Laos","description":"This authoritative and wide-ranging history focuses on the period from the founding of modern Laos as a French colony to its independence, involvement in the war in Vietnam, the formation of the communist republic, and the present authoritarian government. The author shows how the nationalist struggle for independence and unity was subverted by foreign intervention, and how the country has now resumed its traditional role as a neutral state in Southeast Asia. This book provides essential background on modern Laos and the challenges it now faces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Stuart-Fox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521592356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521592352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.31h x 6.39w x 0.99d","brand":"Martin Stuart-Fox","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119819649279,"sku":"9780521592352","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8da1c0e5-b53f-4d6e-a071-4a466b51d2a1.jpg?v=1687411099","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-laos-martin-stuart-fox-9780521592352","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
