Farewell, My Colony

On July 1, 1997, the red flag of China was hoisted over Hong Kong - and the untried idea of "one country, two systems" was put into practice. Farewell, My Colony is a real-time journal of the end of an era. American journalist Todd Crowell captures a unique moment in history as Britain soldiers through the last months of its colonial rule, China waits restlessly to resume its sovereignty, and Hong Kong buzzes with speculation.
