Reviews

"James HeviaOs fine book shows what revisionism, executed properly, can achieve... Hevia approaches [his] topic from refreshingly innovative angles and, in so doing, provides fodder for thought in several important areas, including the British and Chinese styles of Imperial formation and the traditional Chinese rulership and statecraft.O --John Lee, Canadian Journal of History
