This is a great book that, inexplicably for me, does not have many ratings and comments, but deserves it (the book is Financial Times Best Book of the Year). First, I must warn you that the book is large and covers a number of topics. The author definitely knows what he is talking about and shows well how anti-colonial and resistance movements are developing from India to Shanghai. The author describes the underground structures and networks that support these movements and that mark this part of the world forever. Lots of facts that I want to reach to more readers. I recommend the book and thank the publisher and NetGalley that I had the opportunity to receive a copy of the book.
