Description
Chris Patten's memoir of his time as the last governor of Hong Kong offers a unique perspective on the colony's transition to Chinese rule. In June 1997, over a century and a half of British rule came to an end, marking a significant turning point in the region's history.
The book provides insight into Patten's experiences and decision-making during this period, including his stance on issues such as power and freedom. With candour and honesty, he recounts the challenges he faced and the battles he fought.
