With the consummate skill of the storyteller, Wasserstein brings to vivid life one of the most thrilling, perplexing and enigmatic cities on earth.
The Sunday Times
Utterly enthralling capturing with all the intensity of a blockbusting novelist the mood and intrigues of what was one of the great cities of the world.
Far Eastern Economic Review
Wasserstein knows a bad hat when he sees one. His cool accounts of such colourful Shanghai criminals as One-Arm Sutton, Peg-Leg Kearney, Princess Sumaire and Captain Pick are as enjoyable as they are admirable for their research.
Daily Telegraph
Meticulously researched, thoroughly enjoyable.
Literary Review
Shanghai was the sewer of the East out of which a lot of rats crawled . Readers will find life in the shadow world of Shanghai both appalling and fascinating.
Oxford Mail
The military, economic and human detail in this history is as entertaining as it is endlessly informative. An utterly fascinating read.
Jerusalem Post
