Review of 'Opium War Drugs, Dreams and the Making of China' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Solid book about a very important time in China. The book is a bit tricky to follow at times because the author jumps around the timeline a bit because of the sheer scale of things going on. The book isn't as strong in the last two chapters when it tries to explain the significance of The Opium war to the Chinese sense of nationalism and being wronged by the West.
