ABOUT THIS BOOK

Contains: Colour photographs;

From the cover: “Black Watch‚ Red Dawn is not a formal portrait of the Handover It is the crystallisation of the months spent by the authors in Hong Kong before and after the event took place where they observed the former Territory as insiders and as outsiders‚ which helped them to build up a picture of a society in a time of great change.

The book focuses on The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) — a visible instrument of sovereignty in Hong Kong and the People’s Liberation Army. Coming from very different historical traditions‚ they symbolised to the people of Hong Kong two polarised ways of life — the democratic and the communist — and it looks at the relationship between the two as the Handover took place.
