Prepared by the British Naval Intelligence Division of the Admiralty during World War II and released in 1943, this handbook is now an important geographical and historical reference work, documenting the region's environment and natural resources as they were before the developments of recent decades, and describing traditional culture, infrastructure, administration and the extent of foreign influence as it then was. It covers the areas of the present-day countries of Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. Unrivalled in the scope and the quality of information current at the time of first publication, this volume is an essential foundation for all researchers and students interested in the history and background to the contemporary dynamics of the region.

China in the closing days of its Imperial era are captured in the drawings and paintings of the artist Mortimer Menpes, noted for his portrayals of the Far East, with text by Sir Henry Arthur Blake, who served as Governor of Hong Kong. Blake writes with elegant authority on Chinese life, customs and landscape, including the Temples of the Seven Star Hills, Opium, Life on the Yangtse, Flower Boats, Curious Forms of Gambling and the Houses of the Wealthy, and the pages are enlivened by Menpes' marvellous drawings that bring the narrative to life. Now that interest in traditional China has never been greater, the publication of this classic treasure is indeed timely.
