A comprehensive analysis reveals Southeast Asian armies, allies, and enemies that connected with and shaped the Khmer Empire's military power and regional influence from 802 to 1431 CE.

Using extensive and previously unpublished photographic reference material drawn from the great Khmer temple complexes of Angkor Wat, Bayon and Banteay Chhmar, Armies, Allies and Enemies of the Khmer Empire offers the first detailed visual and organisational study of the military world of the Khmer Empire (802-1430 CE).

Presented across two comprehensive volumes, the series examines the armies of the Khmer God-Kings through a systematic analysis of hundreds of eleventh- and twelfth-century carved military images preserved on the temple walls of Angkor in modern-day Cambodia.

While Volume 1 reconstructs the organisation, equipment, tactics and military culture of the Khmer armed forces themselves, Volume 2 widens the perspective to examine the many allies, tributaries, subject peoples, rivals and enemies who shaped the history of the empire. Drawing on archaeological evidence, inscriptions, contemporary written accounts and comparative visual sources from across Southeast Asia, it reconstructs the military forces of Champa, Đại Việt, the Siamese kingdoms, Burma, the Lao principalities, the Malay and Indonesian states, Nanzhao and Dali, the Mongols and Yuan China, placing the Khmer Empire within its wider regional military context.

The volume explores the constantly shifting relationships of warfare, diplomacy, alliance and conquest that characterised medieval Southeast Asia, examining how the Khmer Empire projected and sustained its power across a territory comparable in scale to that of the contemporary Byzantine Empire while confronting some of the region's most formidable military powers.

Richly illustrated throughout, Armies, Allies and Enemies of the Khmer Empire combines archaeological evidence, military analysis and visual reconstruction to provide the most comprehensive study yet published of Khmer warfare and military society.
