Review
"A necessary, important, and highly readable book which must rival any yet published in shedding fresh light on nineteenth-century exploration." -- London Independent
"An excellent and very well-researched book; for the first time the explorations of the Pundits have been recorded in one book, and we can be grateful to Derek Waller for having done it so well." -- USI Journal
"A fascinating and historically important book about the frontier policies of the British empire, policies bearing some resonance even today as controversy over frontiers (the Durnad Line, the McMahon Line) in the region continues." -- American Historical Review
