Pankaj Mishra`s fascinating, highly entertaining new book tells the story of a remarkable group of men from across the continent who met the challenge of the west. Incessantly travelling, questioning and agonizing, they both hated the West and recognized that an Asian renaissance needed to be fuelled in part by engagement with the enemy. Through many setbacks and wrong turns, a powerful, contradictory and ultimately unstoppable series of ideas were created that now lie behind everything from the Chinese Communist Party to al-Qaeda, from Indian nationalism to the Muslim Brotherhood.
