Reviews

"A Sarong for Clio offers bold explorations into several critical areas of Thai studies. Its essays will certainly reshape our understanding of Thailand in the modern era. Audacious and uncompromising-and splendidly engrossing-it is a worthy tribute to Craig Reynolds, the scholar whose work it honors."-Richard A. Ruth, U.S. Naval Academy
