First published: 1979
Description: From the Dust Jacket: "The takeover, when it came, was quick, as expected. But the crushing strictness that followed was jolting. 'On May 24,' wrote one diarist, 'you could bribe everyone in Shanghai. On May 26 you could bribe no one - for perhaps the first time in a hundred years.'"
