| Abstract: |
The volume on Laos is one of a series of handbooks prepared by the Foreign Area Studies (FAS) of the American University. It is designed to be useful to military and other personnel who need a convenient compilation of basic facts about the social, economic, political, military institutions and practices of Laos. An objective description of the nation's present society and the kinds of possible or probable changes that might be expected in the future are emphasized. An extensive bibliography, a glossary, and an index are provided. Related documents are ED 080 414 and SO 006 670. (Author) |
