At its height, the Khmer empire stretched from Angkor in Cambodia as far west as Muang Singh on the border of present-day Burma and Thailand and as far north as Wat Phu on the banks of the Mekong river.

Renowned French epigrapher Claude Jacques has studied Angkor and its surrounding cities, dating from the 8th to the 14th centuries, for over 40 years. His scholarly but accessible text is united with the superlative photography of Michael Freeman, who has been visiting Angkor for 20 years.
