Amaury de Riencourt

Amaury de Riencourt (; 12 June 1918 – 13 January 2005) was a French writer and historian. He was an expert on Southeast Asia, an Indian scholar, a Sinologist, a Tibetologist, and an Americanist.

De Riencourt's ''magnum opus'' was probably ''The Coming Caesars'' (1957), which explores the ethnic and ideological roots of America, Europe, and Russia, comparing classical times with the contemporary world (i.e., the 19th and 20th centuries). Provided by Wikipedia
