Set against the backdrop of 1866, six Frenchmen embark on a perilous journey to discover a trade route along the Mekong River. Their expedition spans over four thousand miles through uncharted territories, facing diverse climates from the sweltering swamps of Vietnam and Cambodia to the frigid mountains of southwestern China. This historical account by Milton Osborne, a noted Southeast Asia expert, has been updated to include a new postscript and features over thirty full-color illustrations by the expedition's artist, enhancing its rich narrative.
