- Summary
- "The old Shanghai was a rich and cosmopolitan mixture of East and West that exuded luxury, style and excitement. Yet, at the same time, it was ridden with an underworld full of opium dens and brothels that earned the city its eponymous nickname "Whore of the Orient." Collecting together all the juicy tidbits, this unique account offers a first hand peek into that world with a smattering of the most interesting photos, newspaper clippings, cartoons and writings to bring back to life those far-off days."--Publisher's description.
