Reviews
This book is a commendable effort which not only offers insight into the critical issues surrounding Hong Kong's political history but also appeals to the imagination by allowing the reader to get as close as possible to voices of the past. As such, it would be a useful point of reference for scholars of Chinese history, politics and international affairs. * The China Journal *
Fascinating. * China Review *
It certainly is refreshing to see a book which goes against common wisdom on this subject. It is, as a whole, notable for its very thorough criticism of the British authorities. . . . Pepper's book provides a necessary overview of a very important question in modern Chinese history. * China Quarterly *
