Martin Booth writes authentically about Hong Kong, the New Territories, and the people whom he knew and respected. This story presents an English boy's adventure for anyone interested in WWII historic action that happened in that geographical area. It's an inspiring read for all ages. It could have been another hundred pages and satisfied me. He's an intense story teller.
