"Opium". First edition, first impression, of this analysis of the international opium problem, including discussion of the Geneva conferences of late 1924. In a chapter on China - "Sinned Against and Sinning" - the author is unequivocal in his rejection of simplistic contemporary stereotypes: "let it never be forgotten that China invented the anti-opium movement" (p. 120).
