'Foreign Mud' was opiumsmuggled into China in the early nineteenth century by British and other Western ships while their governments looked the other way.The merchants saw it as a fair tradeespecially because China refused to open her markets to the world.To the Chinese courthoweverit was an outrage: an affront to the dignity of the Celestial Empire by unruly foreign Barbarians.At a time when the British were determined to force their way into every market of the world and the Chinese retained their centuries-old aloofnesswar was inevitable. First published in 1946Maurice Collis's elegant and colourful account of the Opium War is now regarded as a masterpiece.In writing that is intimatelivelyfull of comedy and ironic contrasts Collis gives a fascinating account of this strange and highly intricate tradeand of the miscomprehension but also the strange similarities between the two arrogant nations. Maurice Stewart Collis was born in 1889the son of an Irish solicitor.He wrote over twenty booksincluding volumes of autobiographybiographytravel writingnovelshistories and three plays.He died in 1973.
