Industry Reviews
"An estimable and literate briefing on a once-captive area..."
Kirkus Reviews (04/01/1997)

"Although the very breadth of Mr. Keay's subject matter--all European colonialism in the East--makes for a sometimes disjointed read, he provides a reliable chronicle of colonialism's postwar denouement."
Wall Street Journal - William McGurn (06/30/1997)

"[Keay] has produced an admirable synthesis, striking the right balance between gritty details and analysis while deftly chronicling the dark side of empire-building."
Washington Post Book World (07/20/1997)
