    Amazing man

    This is an outstanding book chronicling the life of an amazing man. G.E Morrison was a medical doctor, a foreign correspondent and a genuine adventurer. His work as the London Times correspondent in China during the tumultuous Boxer uprising in the early 1900s saw him not only report history but shape it as well. Anyone who is interested in journalism, the history of China or just good old adventure will enjoy this book. Indiana Jones stand aside, what we have here is the real thing.
