Description
Shanghai in the wake of the First World War was one of the world's most dynamic brutal and exciting cities - an incredible panorama of nightclubs opium-dens gambling and murder. Threatened from within by communist workers and from without by Chinese warlords and Japanese troops and governed by an ever more desperate British-dominated administration Shanghai was both mesmerising and terrible.Into this maelstrom stepped a tough and resourceful ex-veteran Englishman to join the police. It is his story told in part through his rediscovered photo-albums and letters that Robert Bickers has uncovered in this remarkable moving book.
