It was built a millennium ago as a shrine to Hindu god Shiva by the same civilization that gave the world Angkor Wat. Sadly, it has been transformed recently into a battlefield prize, first with Cambodian factions during the Cambodian civil war, and later (to present) it has been the focus of sometimes violent border disputes with Thailand. In <strong><em>Temple in the Clouds<\/em><\/strong> former <em>Washington Post<\/em> foreign correspondent John Burgess and author of two previous books on Cambodia, draws on extensive research in Cambodia, Thailand, France and the United States to recount the cliff top monument&#8217;s full history, ancient and modern. He reveals previously unknown legal strategies and diplomatic manoeuvring behind a contentious World Court case of 1959-62 that awarded the temple to Cambodia. Written in a lively, accessible style, <strong><em>Temple in the Clouds<\/em><\/strong> brings new insight to one of Southeast Asia&#8217;s greatest temples and most intractable border conflicts. With 50 photographs, plans and maps.<\/p>\n<p>Also by John Burgess: Stories in Stone: ISBN: 9786167339016; A Woman of Angkor ISBN: 9786167339252<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this book, John Burgess draws on extensive research to recount the history of Preah Vihear &#8216;The Temple in the Clouds&#8217;, considered to be one of the world&#8217;s holiest sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8830,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[21063],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8829","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-history","7":"author-by-author-john-burgess","8":"publisher-river-books","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Temple in the Clouds - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Temple in the Clouds, Pages: 200 Pages, Publish Date: 9th Feb 2022, Author: John Burgess, ISBN: 9786167339542.
