Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Harbor City, or Hong Kong, is many things to many people: to the Chinese it is either their birthplace or a destination to which many have fled from the poverty, civil war and tyranny of mainland China. To the British civil service workers it is the last bastion of a rapidly shrinking British Empire wherein they attempt to live out their lives in a strange love-hate relationship with the local populace.Now, with nearly a quarter of a million Chinese near the border attempting to cross over into Hong Kong to escape the madness of Mao's endless socio-political programs along with major street battles between warring factions of various Chinese secret societies and political factions - five men - refugees from old Shanghai themselves - collide in a tale of intrigue, violence, and betrayal that destroys the lives of many. and threatens the stability of the Crown Colony itself.Harbor City: Winner Take All is the first in the Harbor City trilogy that encompasses the lives of many in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and Japan.
