“In this epic work, Heather Sutherland brings decades of scholarship to bear on her examination of three centuries of trade on the periphery of Asia…This is an attractive and well-laid-out book. Sutherland's scholarship has created a masterful work that will be appreciated by all interested in maritime Southeast Asia's colonial and pre-colonial past.” - Journal of the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society
