Reviews
"For the study of Islam in Bengal, [The Rise of Islam and the Bengal Frontier, 1207-1760] is . . . the most important book to appear to date, and it deserves to be read by all historians of India and the Islamic world." * International History Review *
"Enormously rich and insightful." * American Historical Review *
"Magnificent. . . . Eaton has provided something unique in Indo-Islamic studies. . . . [He] ranges over the important aspects of that community's history, whether political and social, or cultural and religious. . . . This study must rank among the finest contributions to South Asian scholarship to appear for some while." * CHOICE *
"Richard M. Eaton takes up two original questions and provides answers that should remain definitive." * International Journal of Middle Eastern Studies *
