Reviews
Clearly the whole book is a work of industry and extensive research...much careful research. * The Arab Review *
Dr. Rich is a prodigious worker. The bibliography, for example, has to be seen to be believed...[he] has so many of the qualities of the born scholar beyond that of mere erudition. * Journal Of The Royal Asiatic Society *
Rich, amid his pharmacy of elixirs, is an enthusiast: ... he cheerfully evokes old notions of cultural leadership, which promoted a "secret curriculum" of hegemony. -- A. P. Thornton * The International History Review *
"Imperialism was frequently more reliant on ritual than arms or money": It is a thesis which Dr. Rich pursues with an impressive range of detailed scholarly research from a wide field. -- Clive Griggs, University of Brighton
