Reviews for Law, Disorder and the Colonial State: Corruption in Burma c.1900 (Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies)
"Saha's volume is interlaced with references to comparative works on the historical sociology of empire. It is well documented and clearly an interesting contribution to our understanding of colonial Burma during a brief but important period." - Robert H. Taylor, Institute of South-east Asian Studies, Singapore.
