The India-China Opium Trade in the Nineteenth Century (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days
|
From 1823 to 1860 a fleet of small, fast brigs and schooners
carried chests of opium from India to China, often facing the
challenges of pirates and typhoons along the way. This shadowy
trade, conducted by American, British, and Indian firms, thrived
despite its moral and legal consequences. Drawing largely on
primary sources, the story of the opium trade comes through in the
voices of those who saw it firsthand. Appendices describe a
favourite shipboard recipe, two of the ships involved in the trade
and their crews, excerpts from accounts of the Opium War, and
language equivalents for proper and place names. A bibliography is
included, and maps and photographs help illumine this important and
unusual period of history.
