Reviews

Clearly a labor of love for Butcher and Elson. . . . Easily the best book I have read so far this year. --Leonardo Bernard, Contemporary Southeast Asia

The book not only tells the story from the Indonesian point of view, but also paints a comprehensive picture of how Indonesia struggled and succeeded in its archipelagic campaign. Sovereignty and the Sea is easily the best book I have read so far this year. - Leonardo Bernard, Contemporary Southeast Asia This is a very good book... Highly recommended, not only to historians of the law of the sea and of modern South-East Asia, but to those who seek to understand just what lies behind the current maritime order. - James Goldrick, The Mariner's Mirror
