Deadly Dreams: Opium and the Arrow War (1856–1860) in China - Cambridge Studies in Chinese History, Literature and Institutions
Wong, J. Y. (University of Sydney)
Wong reveals the extent of Britain's reliance on the opium and tea trade with China, and argues that Victorian free trade ideology was a less decisive factor in the Arrow War (1856–60) than was Britain's economic struggle to support a vast colonial enterprise.
