The Historical Dictionary of Laos by Martin Stuart-Fox, published in 2008, is the third edition of this comprehensive reference work. It provides a detailed account of Laos’ history, politics, economy, and culture. This edition includes 500 pages of cross-referenced entries covering significant people, events, and institutions in Laos. It also features a detailed chronology, appendices, maps, and a bibliography, making it an essential resource for scholars, researchers, and those interested in Southeast Asia.

The book explores Laos’ strategic importance as a landlocked country situated between Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and China, and reflects on its historical role as a crossroads for trade and communications. The third edition has been updated to include the country’s modern developments, including its role as a member of ASEAN.
