The definitive account of the wartime history of Hong KongOn Christmas Day 1941 the Japanese captured Hong Kong, and Britain lost control of its Chinese colony for almost four years, a turning point in the process by which the British were to be expelled from the colony and from East Asia. This book unravels for the first time the dramatic story of the Japanese occupation and reinterprets the subsequent evolution of Hong Kong.Magnificent. . . . The clarity of mind Snow brings to his labor of storytelling and contextualizing [is] amazing.-John Lanchester, Daily TelegraphBeautifully written, with many telling anecdotes.-Lawrence D. Freedman, Foreign AffairsVery good. . . . [Provides] a much more nuanced picture than has appeared before in English of life among Hong Kongs different communities before and during the Japanese occupation.-Economist
