An account based on journals written from 1936 to 1939 by a young Yale graduate working for Texaco in Tsingtao, Chungking and Canton. The author not only describes life in the various "Treaty Ports" but also life of the Chinese poor in the backcountry of Shantung. The author was in China during the first years of the Sino-Japanese War and was able to give a first-hand account of the fall of Tsingtao in 1938. The book contains over 180 photograph, some in color; 13 maps and an index. Most of the photos were taken by the author at the time.
