Empire Made Me
Author(s): Robert A. Bickers
Shanghai in the wake of World War I was one of the world's most dynamic, brutal and exciting cities. Into this maelstrom stepped a tough and resourceful ex-veteran Englishman to join the police. This is his story, told in part through his rediscovered photograph albums and letters.
