The 1967 Riots: A Watershed in Post-War Hong Kong History

This book delves into the pivotal 1967 riots in Hong Kong, examining their causes, progression, and lasting impact. It sheds light on key events, such as the Sha Tau Kok border conflict, the bomb wave, and the burning of the British Embassy in Beijing. Drawing from recently declassified British government files, the book uncovers the strategies employed by the British government and their implications for Sino-British relations.
