Foreword by h e morriss (1 Ergebnisse)

Hardbound. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. An exploration of the history, justifications and also inequalities that were addressed by the treaties that the Chinese government was compelled to endorse, following their disastrous defeat during the Opium Wars. The writer spent some 17 years in China, was fluent in several Chinese dialects and held as great an affection for the people as he did antipathy for the Nationalist government. Of interest also is that the author of the foreword, Morriss, did not fully agree with Gilbert in blaming all or only the Nationalist leaders for the problems that China was then facing.
