"[The] author has succeeded in his task, thanks to his sound method of analysis and to his command of the languages of the relevant texts: Tibetan, Chinese, Arab, Turkic. Particularly the thorough and felicitous utilization of the Arab sources is one of the most pleasant features of the book."--Luciano Petech, Central Asiatic Journal "A most impressive work by an excellent scholar."--Richard N. Frye, International Journal of Middle East Studies "An absorbing and highly original narrative of imperial rivalries that is of particular interest to comparative historians."--Choice
