Abstract | "The Last Governor", a book on Chris Patten's five years on Hong Kong, is written by Jonathan Dimbleby. The author enjoys virtually total access to Patten during the confrontation with China, when he defended his reforms against attacks from all sides -- mainly from Beijing and its allies in Hong Kong, but also from outraged sinologists in the Foreign Office in London. "The Last Governor" records Patten's scorn for these people. |
