Tales of Old Hong Kong by Derek Sandhaus
Pirates, plagues, pistols, and poisons: with adventure of all varieties, this is a rollicking journey into colonial Hong Kong. A collection of historical odds and ends--stories, quotations, cartoons, postcards, and drawings--this book recounts in thrilling detail how a barren rock seemingly destined to fail rose to become one of the richest trading outposts in Asia.
