‘On the outside, [the foreigners] seem intractable, but inside they are cowardly. . . Although there have been a few ups-and-downs, the situation as a whole is under control.’
In October 1839, a few months after the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, Lin Zexu, dispatched these confident words to his emperor, a cabinet meeting in Windsor voted to fight Britain’s first Opium War (1839-42) with China. The conflict turned out to be rich in tragicomedy: in bureaucratic fumblings, military missteps, political opportunism and collaboration. Yet over the past 170 years, this strange tale of misunderstanding, incompetence and compromise has become the founding myth of modern Chinese nationalism: the start of China’s heroic struggle against a Western conspiracy to destroy the country with opium and gunboat diplomacy.
Beginning with the dramas of the war itself, Julia Lovell explores its causes and consequences and, through this larger narrative, interweaves the curious stories of opium’s promoters and attackers. The Opium War is both the story of modern China – starting from this first conflict with the West – and an analysis of the country’s contemporary self-image. It explores how China’s national myths mould its interactions with the outside world, how public memory is spun to serve the present; and how delusion and prejudice have bedevilled its relationship with the modern West.
It explores how China's national myths mould its interactions with the outside world, how public memory is spun to serve the present; and how delusion and prejudice have bedevilled its relationship with the modern West.

读后感
1840年英国远洋舰队进攻广东珠江口，标志着鸦片战争的爆发，这一事件被后世历史学家评价为具有重大意义的近代中国的转折点。中国人眼中的鸦片战争是一部充满屈辱和剥削的血泪史，是西方列强贪婪、自私、残忍、蛮横所导致。而西方世界把这件事评价为中国人狭隘、骄横、愚昧、自...
评分#深夜读书笔记#1、两本书几乎相差20年，茅的第一版95年，英国人蓝诗玲的汉文版15年。茅的这本天朝的崩溃算是其成名作。绝大部分是前清档案或时人笔记，外文的引用资料较少。而蓝的鸦片战争除了广引用中方资料外，还有当时英国国会或政府档案以及军方人士回忆录。2、茅的笔调决...
评分英国人能写出这样的作品，值得点赞。 可以和茅海建的那本《天朝的崩溃：鸦片战争再研究》对照着看。 两本书各有优缺点。这本书对那本书有不少的引用。这本书的作者是英国人，对英文资料的引用当然更驾轻就熟。而茅的那本对中文资料的引用就更加丰富了，尤其是对一些极其冷门的...
评分（注：本文的censored version已于2015年10月1日刊发于《南方周末》） 2010年11月9日，当时刚刚成为英国首相的戴维•卡梅伦携同4位内阁大臣以及约50位英国工商界精英、领导来到北京，准备开展为期两天的对话访问。卡梅伦此行至少有两个目的。一方面，此次中国之行显然是中英...
评分作为对鸦片战争细节的了解，还是不错的一本书，承继了西方学者对于历史的描述写法，文章的可读性较强，而这正是中国学者较为缺乏的。看外国人写中国历史，更有味，更能进入，或者说界面更友好。 全文较多引用了茅海建的书，所以更想看看茅海建的书。 天下大势，浩浩汤汤，顺之...
用户评价
左，condescendent，缺乏历史研究深度。
评分written with such sneering cynicism
评分冲着作者翻译过阿q正传等鲁迅作品才买的，作者对中西方鸦片战争态度和观点不同下了很大的功夫，即了解中国近现代史的混乱表述，也有西方战争期间一手资料，很有趣。
评分这书的评分偏低了吧……就凭大量的英国方面的资料就值高分了，更别说对许多研究潮流的展现了（比如生活史，内亚视角等等）
评分发现kindle里还存着这本，对历史不同的诠释。想想虽然现身处“和平年代”，19世纪鸦片战争、20世纪的二战及文革，都对现在的中国意识文化形态产生了极大的影响，只是我们乐得不自知。
