Reviews

This biography of Stewart Lockhart tells much more than the life and work of one man as it shows how individuals such as Lockhart were caught up in the history of the China region and in the relationship between Great Britain and China in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. -- Robert Nield, author of The China Coast: Trade and the First Treaty Ports
