Jonathan Campbell's Red Rock has the narrative power of a
fine novel, and is at the same time a cogent work of historical
analysis . . . the benchmark against which all future accounts of
the phenomenon will be measured. --Teng Jimeng, author,

The ancient rhythms of East meets West have rarely been played out
so intensely or at such a raucous volume. --Jonathan Watts, author,
