    Chutzpah Makes a Colonialist Icon
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2018*

The past is malleable.  Only the future is certain. -  Soviet adage.Hannigan is a useful corrective, hewing to genuine lasting results of the British Interregnum, such as the crippling of royal influence in what is now Indonesia.  He also captures the long view of Javanese religion, politics, and spiritism.The UK facilitated the preservation of monuments, culture, and temples of Central and East Java, thanks to some dedicated Asianists' work in their spare time.The Raffles Myth served the Empire, well.  It must serve Singapore, too.

    Just a Good Read...Not An Academic History of Java
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2015*

I've read many academic "Histories" of Java, Raffles and Singapore... And visited theses places, but I never really "got the picture" until I read this book...  Its a "Rip Roaring" "Page Turner" that gives the interesting nuances of historical events without resorting to "Novelization"...The Battle of Batavia, usually just a paragraph in most histories, is actually made into an event that you live through...In Short its a History that reads like Its a Novel by an author who clearly  has something to say, and isn't just filling pages with dry lists and events...Even if you're not into the subject matter of South Asian History...This Book is just a good read about one of the most important "Good" Colonialists of the Era...

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Hooray for Raffles!
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 8, 2015*

A workmanlike job.  Raffles has been much written about, but Hannigan successfullyportrays him as a unique and marvelous character who, despite sometimes being at cross purposes with his employer, the British East India Company rose from obscure beginnings, and little education, to the heights of early 19th century British society.  He is a revered and almost mythological figure in Singapore and other parts of Southeast Asia.
