Phillips reveals how Mughal, Manchu and Western imperialists developed common strategies of 'define and conquer' and 'define and rule' to subjugate South and East Asia. Examining how they leveraged cultural difference to pursue universal conquest, this book exposes the vital role 'barbarian' conquerors played in forging today's Asian superpowers.
