About the author
Anthony Reid
77 books50 followersAnthony Reid was a New Zealand-born historian of Southeast Asia. His doctoral work at Cambridge University examined the contest for power in northern Sumatra, Indonesia in the late 19th century, and he extended this study into a book The Blood of the People on the national and social revolutions in that region 1945–49. He is most well known for his two volume book "Southeast Asia in the Age of Commerce", developed during his time at the Research School of Pacific (and Asian) Studies, Australian National University in Canberra. His later work includes a return to Sumatra where he explored the historical basis for the separate identity of Aceh; interests in nationalism, Chinese diaspora and economic history, and latterly the relation between geology and deep history.
Professor Reid taught Southeast Asian history at University of Malaya (1965–1970) and Australian National University (1970–1999). He became the founding director of the Southeast Asia Center, University of California, Los Angeles, 1999–2002, and then the founding director of Asia Research Institute (ARI) at the National University of Singapore (NUS), 2002–2007. He retired from NUS in 2009. Thereafter he was based in Canberra as Professor (Emeritus) at the Australian National University.
As a writer of fiction he styled himself Tony Reid. He was the son of John S. Reid, a New Zealand diplomat who held postings in Indonesia, Japan and Canada in the 1950s and 1960s.

buku ini memberi kita perspektif tentang suasana politik Aceh pada akhir abad 19 kedudukan Aceh yang begitu penting bagi perdagangan di masa itu selain karena wilayahnya dekat dengan selat malaka juga karena Aceh merupakan salah satu penghasil lada yang sangat besar dan mendominasi di pasar lada dunia
oleh anthony reid kita dibawa melihat intrik intrik politik yang terjadi di pihak Inggris dan Belanda terutama selain dalam negeri Aceh sendiri
sumber sumber data yang akurat menjadi suatu kelebihan tersendiri dalam buku ini, sayangnya di beberapa bagian agak membingungkan karena kualitas terjemahan yang kurang bagus
