Synopses & Reviews
The story of Hong Kong's social, political, and economic development - from the post-War period to the end of its life as a colonial territory - is a remarkable Chinese-British story. This book contains first-hand accounts of life and times in Hong Kong by luminaries, former governors, officials, politicians, business people, artists, and average people - natives, émigrés, and expatriots alike. Their recollections are opinionated, personal, poignant, amusing, and always informative. Collectively they provide a unique and valuable account of Hong Kong history.
Review
"The authors must be applauded for doing a fine job of evoking the recollections of Hong Kong through those interviewees' eyes and presenting them in a coherent and chronological manner. For those who want to remember Hong Kong better without going through another standard history text, Hong Kong is a must-read...essential reading for understanding the past of Hong Kong and its relationship to the current sovereign state."--Journal of Asian Business
