About this title

Synopsis

At sunset on that memorable Monday 30 June 1997, when the Union Jack was lowered from Government House for the final time, Hong Kong had been ruled by no less than 28 British Governors and two Japanese Generals.

This book describes with colourful and surprising insight the life and times of these men who ruled the colony from Upper Albert Road, (Government House) since 1841.

"A century and a half of Hong Kong's turbulent history. Fascinating!" -- The Hong Kong Independent

"History popularized. An asset to any library." -- Hong Kong Finance INC

Store Description

BookLovers of Bath is based in the rural idyll of Peasedown St. John in Somerset (God's Own Country) in the south west of England and actually very nearly in Bath. After 20 years of being ?internet only? I have now opened a shop, Fact or Fable, in the premises of our now-closed Post Office. With over 10,000 books in my, recently shrunken, storage unit and another 5,000 or so in the shop I run an old-fashioned book business with every book listed, graded, picked, packed and posted by my own fair hand? abetted by my Jack Russells who are really, not, helpful.
