Ocean of bitter dreams

By Robert J. Schwendinger

Subjects: Chinese Americans, Foreign relations, Foreign economic relations, Navigation, Opium trade, Emigration and immigration, History

Description: "Ocean of Bitter Dreams appears to be the most authoritative account which presents the history of maritime relations from the point of view of those who are typically overlooked by historians. Though others have written about abuses of human rights in the coolie trade, nobody else has documented as thoroughly...the spill-over of such abuses in the latter development of maritime relations between China and America." --
