This text traces the history of three Far Eastern embassies through
the vicissitudes of war and revolution against the background of an
apparent steady decline of Western influence in Asia. Dr Hoare
tracks the key events and people shaping the British view of Asia.
Key 'dramatis personae' are Sir Harry Parkes, British Minister to
Japan, China and Korea; Sir Ernest Satow, the student interpreter
who became Minister in Tokyo and Peking, and in more recent years,
Sir Charles Eliot, lover of big cars and scholar of Buddhism. This
book will interest those wishing to know more about all aspects of
Britain in East Asia, whether in the tense years of the Boxer
troubles in China, during the wartime repatriation of Britons from
Japan and the Japanese Empire, in the traumas of the Korean War, or
during the excess of China's Cultural Revolution.
