Deignan is a historical account published in the early 1940s, amidst World War II. The book explores the complex history and geography of Siam (now known as Thailand), detailing its rich cultural heritage and the various influences that shaped its development as a nation. It covers significant periods in Siamese history from prehistoric times through the establishment of various kingdoms, examining the social, political, and economic facets of the land and its people. In this comprehensive work, Deignan presents an in-depth examination of the sequence of kingdoms that have risen and fallen within Siam, including the kingdoms of Sukhothai, Ayuthia, Tonburi, and the modern Kingdom of Siam itself. The narrative delves into the lives and interactions of various ethnic groups, the impact of foreign influences from European powers, and the nationalistic sentiments that emerged during the early 20th century. Deignan's meticulous research provides readers with a vivid understanding of the land of Siam, the resilience of its people, and the evolution of their identity as "free men" in the face of external pressures and internal strife.
