"An 1899 newspaper headline called the war 'The Ferment in the Hinterland', but it went flat very quickly. Well researched and written with exemplary clarity, this carefully crafted account has restored the fizz, challenging received notions of the characters of the main actors as well as of the severity of the bloodshed." Hugh Baker, Emeritus Professor of Chinese, SOAS, University of London
