East and West (Paperback, [Updated Ed.])

Many will read this book for their interest in the politician, some because of the controversy over the publication of the book itself. Whatever the reason, readers will find this frank and unrestrained book to be a fascinating account of the culmination of a century and a half of British rule in Hong Kong, and of the last Governor's personal ambition to deliver Thatcher's promises and to instate a measure of democracy before the handover. Patten concedes bluntly that Britain could have done better. (Kirkus UK)

In June of 1997, over a century and a half of British rule in Hong Kong came to an end. Chris Patten writes about his experiences as the last governor of the colony of Hong Kong. He explains why he adopted the stance that he did, and how he fought his battles.
