French, Paul

Describes the history and experiences of China's foreign journalists, covering newspapers printed in the European factories of Canton in the 1820s, a duel between two editors over the future of China, a fistfight in Shanghai over the revolution, and more.

Chronicles the efforts of two detectives--one British and one Chinese--as they raced to find an Englishwoman's killer in 1937 before the Japanese invasion of Peking.
