Review: An interesting book - An interesting book that covers about 50 years of police history in Hong Kong from different officers who served from the 1940s to the 1990s.
Review: Workmanlike - I bought this book as lived in HK for almost 7 years from the 90's, and knew a couple of guys in RHKP, expat., and Chinese. As admitted in the foreword to these tales, the quality is patchy. Some I found thoroughly interesting and well written, others were GCSE standard, and tbh, better the writers had not bothered, or had sought out advice from seasoned writers. (Worried me a tad that they reached 2 pip inspector level actually!) Nonetheless, the tales of the "Double 10" riots, and the Star Ferry riots I found if great interest, plus the account of the storming of the border post from the People's Republic, only relieved by the ever reliable Ghurkas and not a shot fired in anger. Worth buying but future readers be aware the uneven standard of story-telling.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true reflection of the bravery of the RHKPF.
*by M***Y on 22 March 2021*

A great insight to the challenges that the officers faced in the Royal Hong Kong Police force. It brought back memories from my time being born & raised there by my parents My father, a detective Chief Inspector in The Commercial Crime bureau. His service from 1957 to 81 included many fascinating escapades too. A thoroughly good read from start to finish. I even remember some of the officers, One lived above us in the Kowloon city married quarters. It has a vast range of stories from all departments. It was truly a remarkable city.
