Casting a broad net across several disciplines, particularly geography and political economy, Donald Freeman examines the significance of the Straits as both a trade gateway and a choke-point that has forced generations of sailors to "run the gauntlet." Rather than the more conventional historical-narrative approach, he offers an innovative adoption of an interdisciplinary, analytical perspective through his use of detailed case studies of trading systems and shipping hazards.

Recenzijas

"Freeman offers an example of geographical art that involves elucidating the character of a piece of geographic territory through the careful exploration of the interaction between the physical environment and human societies that occupy or traverse this particular territory." Terry McGee, Department of Geography, University of British Columbia; "Freeman has done a superb job of bringing together secondary sources and some original material derived from local archives in the region." David Edgington, Department of Geography, University of British Columbia
