‘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.

讀後感
由于中英贸易逆差，英国向输入鸦片，以换回白银、茶叶、生丝，清政府的禁烟运动极大损害了英国的利益，导致了鸦片战争的爆发，由于清政府的腐败无能，以及技术的落后，中国在战争中一败涂地，最终签订了中国近代史上第一个不平等条约《南京条约》，从此中国进入半殖民地半封建...
評分（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...
評分#深夜读书笔记#1、两本书几乎相差20年，茅的第一版95年，英国人蓝诗玲的汉文版15年。茅的这本天朝的崩溃算是其成名作。绝大部分是前清档案或时人笔记，外文的引用资料较少。而蓝的鸦片战争除了广引用中方资料外，还有当时英国国会或政府档案以及军方人士回忆录。2、茅的笔调决...
評分大背景，南美独立运动令全球白银供应紧张。“1810年代和1820年代的拉丁美洲独立运动，导致全世界白银产量减少了56.6%。首先，他使得英国用于购买中国茶叶和生丝的白银量减少。其次，英国商人不得不越来越多的求助于鸦片，而不是供不应求的白银，换取他们要购买的茶叶和生丝。”...
評分对比中才知何为好书，好研究。 一部远低于期待值的鸦片战争史。 作者作为英国人视角，能够做出较为客观陈述已经较为难得，但是本书中对于，鸦片不应为白银外流负责任，英国政府的对外决策其实是由当地官员决定等内容论述都感觉不够充分，给人欲辩解而还休的感觉。 比较有价...
用戶評價
Another good discussion yesterday. Mostly on nationalism (and the education thereof) and cultural history. News come into attention the next day morning, of drug smuggling in Mexico, S. Korea's urge of Japanese compensation for comfort women, and the lowered US flag in Iraq. Main takeaway: the inventiveness of the late 200 yr Chinese history.
评分左，condescendent，缺乏曆史研究深度。
评分這書的評分偏低瞭吧……就憑大量的英國方麵的資料就值高分瞭，更彆說對許多研究潮流的展現瞭（比如生活史，內亞視角等等）
评分written with such sneering cynicism
评分曆史中的人 都盡瞭自己的努力去做齣自認為正確的選擇
