‘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.

读后感
书的一个尴尬是卡在中西视角之间， 我觉得两头都有问题，个人建议是不值得读，如果要读的话，序言，然后中国看十六章，外国人看十七章同时可以考虑十八章，如果是思想史的爱好者，那么不用看了，太浅。 分为两部分，鸦片战争的前前后后，以及国人如何看待鸦片战争（对心态的影...
评分引发鸦片战争的表象是中英贸易的失衡，实质是两种社会制度的较量，根源是东西方文化甚至文明的对冲。作为中国近代史的开端，鸦片战争的意义影响至今，对国人来讲，既满怀对西方殖民主义的愤恨，也饱含对西方文明进步的憧憬，更怀揣中华复兴之伟愿。坊间于这部书褒贬鲜明，且贬...
评分该书堪称茅海建《天朝的崩溃》的姊妹篇。从英国的角度看鸦片战争，给了不同的视角，更完全区别于教科书中的描述，对于全面认识鸦片战争非常有帮助。 1.本书引用的史料非常丰富，当然，部分错误亦由译者进行了标注。对于《天朝的崩溃》也多有引用。 2.在鸦片战争之前，鸦片作为...
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...

用户评价
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。
评分真是不知道为啥豆瓣上评分这么高。。。
