“Ravina’s portrait of Saigo is well drawn and sympathetic…” (Asian Affairs, November 2004)

"...Reads like a thriller..." (Good Book Guide, February 2004)

"...Ravina's writing grips with the intensity of a great adventure story and vividly portrays the upheavals caused to a nation..." (Yorkshire Evening Post, 24 January 2004)

"...a pacy narrative that reads like a thriller, complemented by maps and photographs..." (The Good Book Guide, January 2004)

"Ravina has opened up a dimension of Saigo’s life that was closed to English readers before now."
—Charles L. Yates, The Historian
