The latest book by John Burgess, “Temple in the Clouds”, is a pleasant journey for avid readers about Southeast Asia and its mystic temple, Preah Vihear - historically, spiritually, geologically, politically and intellectually. The writing style is fair and objective, presenting differing opinions in a seamless flow of information.


Just like the construction of Preah Vihear itself, Burgess lays a solid foundation and then proceeds to build an equally solid structure for understanding this superb site and its modern-day significance.


Interspersed among the pages are helpful illustrations and insightful photographs. He also has the ability to produce eloquent imagery. For example: “The summit is like the prow of a great vessel that is sailing south tipping upward as it takes waves head-on.”
