"Drawing on a wealth of research material gathered over forty years of studying the region, Osborne traces the Mekong's dramatic history through the rise and fall of civilizations and the era of colonization and exploration. He details the struggle for liberation during a twentieth century in which Southeast Asia has seen almost constant conflict, including two world wars, the Indochina War, the Vietnam War and its bloody aftermath - and explores the prospects for peace and prosperity as the region enters a new millennium."
