History of Sri Lanka
Synopsis This book presents the history of Sri Lanka from the earliest times to the present.

This is a complex story, and there is perhaps no better person to present it in reasoned, scholarly terms than K. M. de Silva, Sri Lanka’s most distinguished and prolific historian. “A History of Sri Lanka”, first published in 1981, has established itself as the standard work on the subject.
