Tbh I didn’t expect this book to be as well sourced, thorough and enjoyable as it has been thus far. Dedicating the first five chapters as an intro to super imperialism and the mechanisms of imperialism in the modern day was a wonderful choice.

Not finished yet but I look forward to reading whatever else Kyle produces in the future.

Immediately, judging by the long introduction on the mistranslation of the term “barbarian” it was clear this was one of the best best books on the opium war and it only gets better, and more granular. The footnotes are very detailed. Not finished yet but a wonderful work of scholarship
