Escape from Hong Kong offers a full account of the Great Sino- British Escape of Christmas Day, 1941-the day Hong Kong surrendered to the Japanese, less than three weeks after Pearl Harbour. It combines meticulous research and a fast-paced narrative.
Tim Luard tells this exciting and little known story with great skill. Some of us departed from Hong Kong much more comfortably! But we missed this extraordinary adventure. -- Chris Patten, governor of Hong Kong, 1992-97
