W. Travis Hanes, Frank Sanello - The Opium Wars
Publisher: Sourcebooks, Inc. | 2004-02-01 | ISBN: 1402201494 | PDF | 352 pages | 1.76 MB
In this tragic and powerful story, the two Opium Wars of 1839-1842 and 1856-1860 between Britain and China are recounted for the first time through the eyes of the Chinese as well as the Imperial West. Opium entered China during the Middle Ages when Arab traders brought it into China for medicinal purposes. As it took hold as a recreational drug, opium wrought havoc on Chinese society. By the early nineteenth century, 90 percent of the Emperor’s court and the majority of the army were opium addicts.
