fascinating chapters.' - Asian Affairs

sense of the word ... the book not only captures the historical
pinnacles of Indonesia but also those of Vietnam and Cambodia.' -

'George Kahin's reminiscences are indeed a great contribution to
Southeast Asian studies. His personal and consistent approach could
certainly be taken as an example by other American young scholars.
His humane approach to those he knew in Southeast Asia was deeply
appreciated by many. He will be fondly remembered for a long time
into the future.' - The Muslim World Book Reviews
