Reviews

"Kim's narrative and analysis are far more complete than any other work on the rebellion." - The International History Review "Kim's highly relevant and timely study not only fills a significant lacuna in the historiography of the region but also opens the door to new scholarly enterprises." - Journal of Asian Studies "...Holy War in China is a major contribution, and it will be of interest to scholars of China, central Asia, and nineteenth-century world history." - Histoire sociale/Social History "[Kim] devoted years to scouring archival deposits around the world in his search for materials relating to the rise and fall of Yakub Beg's Kashgar-based emirate. He has put together a richly detailed and documented study based primarily on sources by Muslim scholars that provides an internal perspective on events." - Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies "[An] exemplary historical study, which presents the reader with a comprehensive, detailed and interesting story." - Middle Eastern Studies
