Murder and Mayhem in Seventeenth-Century Cambodia: Anthony van Diemen vs. King Ramadhipati I [Paperback]

Alfons Van der Cruysse (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2009

This book tells the story of the conflict from 1636 to 1645 between Cambodia and the Dutch East India Company (VOC), which has the dubious distinction of being history's first conflict between a mainland Southeast Asian state and a European power. It affords a glimpse into the largely unknown period in Cambodian history between the fall of Angkor in the mid-fifteenth century and the arrival of the French in the late-nineteenth century. Alfons van der Kraan has been a lecturer at the Australian National University, Murdoch University in Perth, and, currently, at the University of New England, Australia.

This review is from: Murder and Mayhem in Seventeenth-Century Cambodia: Anthony van Diemen vs. King Ramadhipati I (Paperback)

The information about ancient Cambodian financial instruments is as scarce as hen's teeth. This book surprised me with a couple of pieces of information that I have not seen before in any other reference. They are both very important and they will be used in my future catalog on the financial instruments of Cambodia from ancient times to date.
