The Mekong: Turbulent Past, Uncertain Future di Milton Osborne

River Road to China: The Search for the Source of the Mekong, 1866-73 (Search for the Sources of the Mekong, 1866-73) is the book to read, regarding Western exploration of the Mekong, in-depth. This effort by Osborne is a good primer for those interested in the Mekong River and the lands it flows through.
