This book questions the universal belief that England's 1840-42 war
with China was an "Opium War." What really worried London was
"insults to the crown," the claim of a dilapidated and corrupt
China to be superior to everyone, threats to British men and women
and seizure of British property, plus the wish to expand and free
trade everywhere. It was only much later that general Chinese
resentment and Evangelical opinion at home - and in America -
persuaded everyone that Britain had indeed been wicked and fought
for opium.
