About this title

Review:

The book is destined to become part of the standard readings for students of modern China.

Scholarly and multifaceted. Recommended.

Source: 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.

....a very valuable contribution that advances our understanding of an unfairly neglected topic in the study of China’s borderlands.
