原本是很好的書，卻給兩位完全原熟悉香港的翻譯搞壞。建議讀者只看英文原著。

The best work about the last decades of British Hong Kong. For those who would like to understand the causes of Umbrella revolution, this book is an essential reading. Roberti's work explained the frustration of Hongkongers, who cannot decide their fate in the tug-of-war between the British and Chinese empires in the 1980s and 1990s.

Detailed description of how the negotiation in different parts(China, Britain, Hong Kong) happened. I was to read this book to find my question: why didn't Hong Kong people jumped out to say their words in that time. I think I got the answer after reading this book.
