DESCRIPTION:

Hong Kong: The Turbulent Times is a gripping and insightful book that delves into the remarkable history of Hong Kong and its people. From its humble beginnings as a barren rock on China's southern coast to becoming an economic miracle, this book chronicles the transformation of both the territory and its population. Written by a seasoned journalist who has witnessed the city's evolution since the mid-1960s, this book explores the British policy and actions towards their China coast colony, as well as China's handling of its new possession after the handover.

With a keen focus on the recent events, including the protests against Beijing's encroachment on Hong Kong's freedoms and civil rights, this book raises thought-provoking questions about the future of the city. Will Hong Kong become the catalyst for change, challenging the communist dictatorship in China? Drawing on historical context and the author's personal experiences, Hong Kong: The Turbulent Times offers a unique perspective on this pivotal moment in Hong Kong's history.

Written with precision and attention to detail, this book provides an engaging narrative that captivates readers from start to finish. Whether you have a deep interest in Hong Kong's history or are simply curious about the current political climate, Hong Kong: The Turbulent Times is a must-read that sheds light on the complex dynamics shaping this global city.
