Title Details
Description
This is a compelling biography of Shanghai. The greatest metropolis in Asia during its heyday, until Mao’s army swept away its decadence in 1949, this corrupt, pleasure-mad, and squalor-ridden city combined the exuberant vulgarity of Rio during Mardi Gras with a Wild-West lawlessness.
