Captain H.R. Robinson, completing a posting as a young British
administrator in remote northern Burma, returned to Mandalay in
1923 to await a new assignment. One evening he and two friends came
upon an opium den. While his friends called it a night. Robinson
stayed on to sample the forbidden pleasures within--a decision that
was to alter his life forever. Thus commences an incredible
autobiographical account of the seduction of a naive young romantic
by the East, and of his eventual narrow escape from death. First
published in 1942, the book has become a sought after rarity among
British colonial accounts, now republished with a new foreword by
Gerry Abbott.
