From the "This book is an excellent presentation of the application of martingale theory to the theory of Markov processes, especially multidimensional diffusions. [...] This monograph can be recommended to graduate students and research workers but also to all interested in Markov processes from a more theoretical point of view."

From the reviews:
"... Both the Markov-process approach and the Itô approach ... have been immensely successful in diffusion theory. The Stroock-Varadhan book, developed from the historic 1969 papers by its authors, presents the martingale-problem approach as a more powerful - and, in certain regards, more intrinsic-means of studying the foundations of the subject. [...] ... the authors make the uncompromising decision not "to proselytise by intimidating the reader with myriad examples demonstrating the full scope of the techniques", but rather to persuade the reader "with a careful treatment of just one problem to which they apply". [...] Most of the main tools of stochastic-processes theory are used, ..but it is the formidable combination of probability theory with analysis ... which is the core of the work. [...] I have emphasized the great importance of the Stroock-Varadhan book. It contains a lot more than I have indicated; in particular, its many exercises conain much interesting material.
For immediate confirmation of the subject’s sparkle, virtuosity, and depth, see ... McKean (‘s 1969 book). The Stroock-Varadhan book proceeds on its inexorable way like a massive Bach fugue. ... But old J.S. can e something of knockout if his themes get hold of you. And his influence on what followed was 8you may say) substantial."
