Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Carrol & Graf Edition. Hardcover. A History of London. Ex-Iowa City Library with ex-library markings. Couple of slight creases to back D/J. Foreword by Roy Porter. The Romans built it, the Angles and Saxon invaded it, the Vikings ravaged it, the Normans conquered it. Since its beginnings as a walled colonial outpost on the banks of the Thames in the first century to, in the twenty-first, the teeming municipal sprawl of a phenomenally cosmopoli8tal world capital, London has belonged to outsiders. From medieval Lombardy, the Low Countries, Huguenot France, nineteenth-century Warsaw, and more recently every English-speaking corner of the Commonweath, in successive waves of migration they have come to London - the merchants and traders, the artists and artisans, the refugees and speculato9rs and financiers - and each in their turn has left a distinctive mark on the cultural map of this marvelous polyglot of a city. Illustrated. 1111 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.).…

Three mysterious Thailand based telephone numbers listed on back page and one "Charlie Na" on the first Page. When I called the numbers, surly Cantonese speakers answered then immediately hung up the phone. First Carroll & Graf Paperback Edition 2001. 358 pp. 16 pages b&w photos. In an indisputably important and extravagantly detailed account, Booth (author of the lauded Opium: A History and Booker-nominated author of the novel The Industry of Souls) examines the history of the notorious international crime groups known as the Chinese Triads, whose roots lie in ancient secret societies with traditions of religious and political dissentAparticularly in the Hung Society of the 18th century. As Chinese emigrants spread around the world, so did the societies, metamorphosing into today's international terrorist networks. The Triads have an oddly checkered history of both criminal activity and patriotism (they supported Chiang Kai-shek and assisted the U.S. during the Vietnam War). Booth's narrative details the dizzying array of their criminal actionsAincluding kidnapping, credit-card fraud, software piracy, international prostitution, illegal immigrant smuggling and Internet pornography as it explores the lives and crooked partnerships of such legendary Triad power brokers as the Green Gang's far-rightist Big-eared Du, and the 14K, which maximized the mid-century heroin market. Booth also documents the Triads' infiltration of the business and social mainstream and their current exploitation of the Hong Kong film industry. He deserves commendation for addressing this risky subject (these groups are not above murdering journalists) and for shredding the Triads' centuries-strong web of ritual and patriotism. Booth sweeps a large variety of secret societies into his catchall category of the Triads and reduces modern Chinese history to a vast and convoluted criminal conspiracy. Nevertheless, the cast of bizarre characters, the often-gory details of Triad crimes, and the intersection of the criminal and political worlds make for fascinating reading.…
