ISBN10: 0195903536, ISBN13: 9780195903539, [publisher: Oxford University Press (China) Ltd, China, Quarry Bay] Softcover This timely book chronicles the history of Hong Kong from its misty beginnings to the present day. The territory's unique and turbulent political and economic development form the backdrop to a still more compelling and human story. The essence of The Hong Kong Story is the interwoven sagas of the family dynasties and business houses - vital ingredients in transforming the 'barren rock' into a miracle city state. These families were by no means all British and Chinese: by the mid-nineteeth century Hong Kong was already a cosmopolitan city with a prominent American contingent.

The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are ...
