Chinese Account of the Opium War by Edward H. Parker is a historical book that provides an in-depth account of the Opium War from the Chinese perspective. The Opium War was a conflict between China and Great Britain that took place in the mid-19th century, where the British Empire forced China to open up its ports to foreign trade and importation of opium. The book is based on the Chinese official records and documents, as well as the author's personal observations and experiences during his time in China. The book covers the background of the Opium War, the events that led to the conflict, and the war's aftermath. It also delves into the social, economic, and political impacts of the war on China and its people. The author explores the Chinese government's response to the British aggression, including the actions of Commissioner Lin Zexu, who attempted to stop the opium trade and the subsequent British military response. The book provides a unique perspective on the Opium War, which is often told from the British perspective. It sheds light on the Chinese side of the story and offers insight into their motivations, strategies, and challenges during the conflict. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Chinese history, the Opium War, and the impact of imperialism on China.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
