162pp, lightly illustrated in black and white. In laminated light card covers. 8vo. Gentle wear to cover and text block edges else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. Recollections and memoirs of John Dawe, a man who lived through the decline of the British Empire. Born in Tientsin, China – one of the Treaty Ports occupied by the British for over a hundred years and handed back to China in 1941 – he was in India during Partition and the end of the Raj, and at the celebrations when Tanganyika gained independence in 1963. Between times he served in the British Army during the second world war and worked for the London Stock Exchange. His memoirs provide an informed insight into a period of dramatic social change.
