‘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.

Julia Lovell has worked at Birkbeck since 2007. Before then, she was Junior Research Fellow at Queens’ College, Cambridge. She completed her undergraduate and graduate studies at Emmanuel College, Cambridge; she also studied for a year at the Hopkins-Nanjing Centre for Chinese Studies. She has translated many works, as well as writing insightful works into the history of China.
She has written articles in the Guardian, the London Times and the Economist on China.
written with such sneering cynicism
评分真是不知道为啥豆瓣上评分这么高。。。
评分so called truth
评分历史中的人 都尽了自己的努力去做出自认为正确的选择
评分非常全面详细,信息量很大。尤其是对第一次鸦片战争的描写,中英双方的资料,官方的文件和普通民众的回忆都有。当时各种利益集团掺和在其中,到了现在教科书上直接简化成了清政府和英国,就完全不是那么回事儿了
书的一个尴尬是卡在中西视角之间, 我觉得两头都有问题,个人建议是不值得读,如果要读的话,序言,然后中国看十六章,外国人看十七章同时可以考虑十八章,如果是思想史的爱好者,那么不用看了,太浅。 分为两部分,鸦片战争的前前后后,以及国人如何看待鸦片战争(对心态的影...

评分优缺点非常明显的书。 先说优点,西方学者写的历史,和中国的视角很大程度是不一样。这本书吸收近几年了鸦片战争研究的学术成果,同时,这本书也不是只讲鸦片战争,期间还穿插了其他学术内容,比如这些年大火的新清史。最后还谈到了鸦片战争对中国民族主义以及西方黄祸论的塑造...
