A Portrait of C.P. Snow

Stranger and Brother

The definitive account of the wartime history of Hong Kong On Christmas Day 1941 the Japanese captured Hong Kong, and Britain lost control of its Chinese colony for almost four years, a turning point in the process by which the British were to be expelled from the colony and from East Asia. This book unravels for the first time the dramatic story of the Japanese occupation and reinterprets the subsequent evolution of Hong Kong. "Magnificent. . . . The clarity of mind Snow brings to his labor of storytelling and contextualizing is] amazing."--John Lanchester, Daily Telegraph "Beautifully written, with many telling anecdotes."--Lawrence D. Freedman, Foreign Affairs "Very good. . . . Provides] a much more nuanced picture than has appeared before in English of life among Hong Kong's different communities before and during the Japanese occupation."--Economist

Britain, China, and the Japanese Occupation

The Fall of Hong Kong

Philip Snow's departure from his beloved Fijian Service on appointment as Bursar of Rugby School was heart-rending. A major factor in the decision was the chance of seeing more of his elder brother, CP Snow, who was always a keenly-felt influence, even when separated by thousands of miles of wide oceans. Philip Snow was himself a character in three of CP Snow's novels and this book contributes to the understanding of the novels and their characters.
