Not the best of the Cambridge histories. Relies too much on outdated and poorly cited sources, and probably due to its scope it's forced to be fairly abstract and comparative -- most of the chapters in this volume just aren't able to do the individual regions of Southeast Asia justice. Still gives a serviceable overview of a transformative period, which makes it basically irreplaceable if you're trying to establish timelines without relying on Wikipedia.
This is a 4 part series and not 1 book with 4 covers as Amazon seems to `think'. Interesting too.
