Book Synopsis
In 1898, near the projected intersection of the Chinese Eastern Railroad China's Sungari River, Russian engineers founded the city of Harbin. Drawing on the archives, both central and local, of seven countries, this history of Harbin presents multiple perspectives on Imperial Russia's only colony.

Trade Review
“This outstanding work, the first scholarly history of the formative years of the city of Harbin, is much more than urban or regional history. It responds to a need to understand...a unique experience, where local, national, and world cultures, economies, and politics intersected.”—Thomas Lahusen, Duke University
