Hodong Kim. Holy War in China: The Muslim Rebellion and State in Chinese Central Asia, 1864–1877. Stanford: Stanford University Press. 2004. Pp. xviii, 295. $55.00.
Students of Chinese Inner Asia have long awaited the publication of Kim Hodong's 1986 Harvard dissertation on the 1864 rebellion in Xinjiang (East Turkestan). Finally, Kim and Stanford University Press have brought out a revised and expanded version of this first comprehensive and scholarly monograph on the subject.	1
This book uses sources in an impressive range of research languages: Chinese, Russian, Japanese, German, and French, as well as English. British and Ottoman Turkish archives were also mined. Unlike many other writers on Xinjiang, however, Kim relies primarily on local historical sources written in Turki (what today is called Uighur), particularly Mullâ Mûsa Sayrâmî's Târîkh-i amniyya ("History of Peace" [1903]) and Mullâ Bilâl's Ghazât dar mulk-i Chîn ("Holy War in China" [1876–1877]). He also consulted many other manuscripts in Persian and in Turki. Such sources give Kim's book a different perspective from those who see Xinjiang as merely a pawn in the "Great Game" between Britain and Russia or a rebellious province of China.	. . .
