Overview: The Opium War, 1840-1842 is an account of the coming and course of the war between England and China, which delivered Hongkong to the English, forced the imperial Chinese government to add four ports to Canton as places in which foreigners could live and trade, and rendered irreversible the process that for almost a century thereafter distinguished western relations with this quarter of the globe--the process that is loosely termed the "opening of China."Although there are numerous studies of one aspect or another of the war, this is the first to treat exclusively the opium trade from the point of production in India (the author begins with a description of the Ghazipur opium factory) to the point of consumption in China; the first to give the Protestant missionaries their due as both enthusiasts and critics of the war; and the first to rescue the Catholic missionaries from a quite undeserved obscurity. It is also the first full story of the military and naval campaigns of 1840, 1841, and 1842 since Ouchterlony's account written 130 years ago.An introductory section on the old Indian opium trade and its threat to the comfortable commercial habits of the East India Company's Canton establishment is followed by an account of the "Napier fizzle" of 1834, the activities of the Protestant and Catholic missions; the first Chinese efforts to check the mounting flow of opium into the country; the great opium seizure of 1839; the alarms and skirmishes about the Gulf of Canton as India and England slowly reacted to that seizure; and the military and naval campaigns that eventually brought Peking to terms. The story ends with the day England's seal was affixed to the Treaty of Nanking."I know of no other study," writes Frederick Wakeman, Jr., of the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, "that gives such a first-hand sense of the western participants' actions and reactions during this period. By letting us look at nineteenth-century China through the eyes of the traders, missionaries, and officials who hovered outside of Canton (and then finally assaulted the "Celestial Empire"), Fay creates a perfect cadre for a lively, well-written account of the time. It is narrative history in the grand manner."

It was adequate. The prose was competent, yet the characters lacked the depth I usually seek. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.
