"Scholarly and multifaceted. Recommended."
* Choice *
"As a collection of biographies, the authors have included the sort of details, first-person accounts, and photographs that make biography such a wonderful form of historical writing…Specialists and general readers with an interest in China’s borderlands will find this book of value, above all, as a history of Western inquiry and adventure in the region."
-- Gregory Rohlf * Asian Highlands Perspectives, Vol. 28 *
"….a very valuable contribution that advances our understanding of an unfairly neglected topic in the study of China’s borderlands."
-- Fa-Ti Fan * Journal of Asian Studies *
