Reviews

"This book is noteworthy because its essays draw to our attention 'conciliation' as an historical theme and component of the imperial encounter. It is to be hoped that imperial historians--and not just those interested in the Pacific Rim--will both read the book and absorb its lessons." - Richard N. Price, H-Net Review, University of Maryland
