The Dragon Wakes
Christopher Hibbert
Sent out to Canton in 1793 in the first push to open up new markets, Lord Macartney's famous mission was shocked to find that the Chinese ate without knives, forks or spoons, while the Emperor, in turn, 'had no very clear idea of where England was, nor had any of his ministers...'
From this tragi-comical diplomacy to the savageries of the Opium War, the Taiping rebellion and the Boxer revolt, Christopher Hibbert draws back the veil on nineteenth-century China - that sleeping dragon so rudely awoken by the West. His book is history at its most colourful and dramatic, and a marvellously absorbing study of the clash between two alien and presumptuous civilizations.
