British Policy In China. Is Our War With The Tartars Or The Chinese? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781245745857)

"British Policy In China" delves into the intricate and often contentious relationship between Great Britain and China during a pivotal era of colonial expansion and trade disputes. Authored by John Scarth, this historical analysis provides a critical examination of British foreign policy in China, questioning the motivations and consequences of the Opium Wars and the broader impact of Western intervention.

Scarth's work offers insights into the political, economic, and social dynamics that shaped the interactions between these two vastly different cultures. The book challenges readers to consider whether British actions were truly directed at the Tartars (Manchus) or the Chinese people, raising profound questions about the nature of imperialism and its effects on Chinese society. This historical account remains relevant for understanding the complex legacy of colonialism and its enduring influence on Sino-British relations.
