"With his assiduous tracking and identification of the humans trafficked across the Eastern hemisphere, the author has produced a new and slightly provocative standard that is unlikely to be easily duplicated, meanwhile also unwittingly calling attention to the need for even deeper research on some of the circuits of the uglier side of the slave trade, as seen with the Indian Ocean littoral. All in all, this is a commendable work and a great resource for students of medieval Japanese history and Portuguese "expansion."" - Geoffrey C.
