The Armies of Angkor

"The Khmers, as well as visionary architects and builders, were by far the most formidable fighting force of South-East Asia, and much of their fabled wealth was generated directly from the spoils of their conquests. In the present volume, drawing on depictions of warfare found on the stone relics of the monuments mentioned above, French scholar Jacq-Hergoualc'h reconstructs a vivid image of the Khmer armed forces, both land and naval, providing insight into its organization, technology, weaponry and strategies." "The Armies of Angkor is essential reading not only for those with interest in the history of war and weaponry but for all who seek a better understanding of the brilliant culture of the creators of Angkor."--Jacket.
