Synopsis
This book details the events that led to China's first and second opium wars, providing a colorful glimpse into the complex interplay between China and Western nations during this tumultuous period. The author, a keen observer, lived in China for years and was a personal correspondent to several foreign ministers, giving him a unique perspective on an era in which China's isolationist policies led to violent clashes with the West. Examining the diplomatic blunders, betrayals, and misunderstandings that marked these conflicts, the writer reveals the tension between China's traditional values and the encroaching West, and explains how this struggle laid the groundwork for many of the tensions still present in modern-day Sino-Western relations.
