520    The rise of China and the fall of Hong Kong to 
       authoritarian rule are told with unique insight in this 
       new history by Michael Sheridan, drawing on documents from
       archives in China and the West, interviews with key 
       figures, and eyewitness reporting over three decades. The 
       story takes the listener from the earliest days of trade 
       through the Opium Wars of the nineteenth century to the 
       age of globalization, the handover of Hong Kong from 
       Britain to China, the fight for democracy on the city's 
       streets, and the ultimate victory of the Chinese Communist
       Party. As the West seeks a new China policy, we learn from
       private papers how Margaret Thatcher anguished over the 
       fate of Hong Kong, sought secret American briefings on how
       to deal with Beijing, and put her trust in a spymaster who
       was tormented by his own doubts. The Chinese version of 
       history, so often unheard, emerges from memoirs and 
       documents, many of them entirely new to the foreign 
       listener, which reveal China's negotiating tactics. The 
       voices of Hong Kong people-eloquent, smart, and bold-speak
       compellingly here at every turn.
