About the Author:
Philip Snow is the author of the acclaimed The Star Raft: China’s Encounter with Africa.
"[The Fall of Hong Kong] is very different, and very good. . . . Where [Snow] comes into its own is in his use of Japanese and Chinese as well as British sources, which offer a much more nuanced picture than has appeared before in English of life among Hong Kong's different communities before and during the Japanese occupation."—Economist
