This is a pretty good survey of the history of a region. It includes Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, East Timor, and Indonesia. Philippines and Burma are left out.

It's not written very well but it gets the point across. It's a good brief history and it's definitely worth reading to get some basic information.

Cecilia gave me this one before I left NY. Excellent overview, keeps you interested, not-at-all-boring for a history.
