About the author

Glenn Melancon

Summary

The tale of iniquity that was the British trade in opium is often illustrated using the archives of the Jardine Matheson Company. The archive tells some of the story but the real story is far more complex; this work on the opium crisis reveals a range of new theories and facts.
