On the Broken Shore by James Macmanus

Praise for ‘Ocean Devil’:

'James MacManus, a seasoned foreign correspondent who discovered the story, has presented it with admirable clarity, illuminating both the contortions of the war in China and the strength of character of this young Englishman who persuaded everyone he met to behave as honourable as he did'
Daily Mail
