Klappentext
Wong argues that the opium trade played a large causative role in the Anglo-Chinese Arrow War.
Zusammenfassung
Wong reveals the extent of Britain's reliance on the opium and tea trade with China, and argues that Victorian free trade ideology was a less decisive factor in the Arrow War (185660) than was Britain's economic struggle to support a vast colonial enterprise.
