From review: This volume is a collection of nine essays, five of which have been written by the editor. It is an important contribution to the historiography of anti-malarial policies in East Asia. The English-speaking audience would benefit from the extensive range of informative detail it reveals. Essays in this volume cover a period of about 100 years, from the late nineteenth to the third quarter of the twentieth century. These address the entangled histories of British, Japanese and US colonialisms in the region, while elaborating various interactions between scientific establishments, public health officials, post-colonial nationalist governments, the communist party, international health organisations and multinational donor agencies.
