I picked up this book anticipating a detailed, minute-by-minute account of the Opium War. Instead, it turned out to be an overview of the war and its lasting impact on modern Chinese attitudes towards the West. A chronological narration of events would have been more effective than the current approach of jumping between dates and outcomes.
