Reviews

'What makes this book so valuable is that it brings together a huge amount of fascinating information based on a judicious combination of primary and secondary sources. It is accessible to a general audience who might not be familiar with the history of maritime East Asia. Hang is a great storyteller who excels at capturing the high drama of many-faceted interactions while keeping the complicated narrative clear and well organized.' Wensheng Wang, Ming Studies
