Diogo's Chronicle Siam in crisis, from Ayutthaya to Thonburi to Bangkok by Edward van Roy (Paperback) 2025

An exciting new historical novel.

Every so often a long-lost manuscript from the dusty shelves of an obscure archive to challenge our entrenched views of former times, far-off places, exotic peoples. Such a lucky find by a pair of Bangkok-based expats forms the subject of this book, a work of historical fiction. Binding the tattered tapestry of fact with filaments of fiction, this book brings to life the dramatic events of a near forgotten place and time of battles, subterfuge, and broken alliances in a manner that rivals classic histories of the past.

• An exciting, well-researched historical novel set during a fascinating time in Thai history.
