So I'm going to be backpacking thru Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. Any non-fiction recommendations that involve these countries? I know the Vietnam war looms large here, but I'm interested in more off beat topics as well.

Looking for a really, really good book on indigenous American history. Pre 1492. Obviously this is a tricky field for everything we don't know, and most of what we do know is from archaeology. But I'm interested in a book that best finds a compelling narrative in what is known of the pre-contact history of the Americas. I'm especially interesting in North America, especially Mississippian mound culture centered around Cahokia, but that's even harder because there wasn't any stonework or writing.

Is The Guns of August still worth reading? I'm interested in the origins of World War I and obviously it's considered the bible on that subject, but it was written over sixty years ago. Has anyone here read it?

Thanks for the suggestions. I should emphasize I’m not a historian so im more interested in a well written popular history than an academic tome. The Sleepwalkers looks like more or less what I’m looking for.
