Description
Austin Coates' long career in the government of Hong Kong provided a rich source of material for his novels and autobiographical books. In this detailed study, he traces the history of the Portuguese in the Far East, from their peaceful settlement in the 1550s through to the arrival of the British in the eighteenth century, and the extraordinary outcome of Portugal's struggle for sovereignty in Macao.
