- xxiii, 541 p.
Covers SE Asia mainly from the eighteenth century to the early years of the twenty-first century. The first 2 take the regional story to the dawn of the 20th century, part 3 considers economic political and social transformations, part 4 covers the often slow process out of the colonial era, and part 5 considers independence and interdependence in the modern age. In the preliminaries there is a useful guide to the evolution of country names.
