Date: September 1999 ABOUT THE BOOK Reviews >From Booknews >From 1823 to 1860 a fleet of small, fast brigs and schooners carried opium from India to China. This shadowy trade, conducted by American, British, and Indian firms, thrived despite moral and legal consequences, and the dangers of typhoons and pirates. This account of the opium trade draws largely on primary sources, with many excerpts from writings of those who saw and participated in the opium trade. Appendices describe a shipboard recipe, as well as two ships involved in the trade and their crews, and give language equivalents for proper and place names. Annotation c.
