Book Synopsis

''Vivid, atmospheric, packed with brilliant story-telling'' - Humphrey Hawksley, former BBC Beijing, Hong Kong and Asia Correspondent

''[An] entertaining guide, rich in anecdote and understanding for an early globalised world that has gone'' - Michael Sheridan, Sunday Times

''Illuminating'' - Thomas Dyja, New York Times Book Review

A timely, well-researched, and vibrant new history of Hong Kong that reveals the untold stories of the diverse peoples who have made it a multicultural world metropolis-and whose freedoms are endangered today.

Hong Kong has always been many cities to many people: a seaport, a gateway to an empire, a place where fortunes can be dramatically made or lost. A British Crown Colony for 155 years, Hong Kong is now ruled by the Chinese Communist Party who continues to threaten its democracy and put its rich legacy at risk. Here, renowned journalist Vaudine England delves into Hong Kong''
