商品簡介
Months before the start of the Pacific War in 1941, John Reeves - his career and marriage failing - was posted as British consul to the tiny Portuguese colony of Macao in southern China.
The Japanese soon declared war on the West with their attacks on Pearl Harbor and Hong Kong. But because Portugal was neutral, Macao was left alone and became a tiny island of neutrality, an Asian Casablanca surrounded by Japanese-occupied China.
Reeves, a lonely and awkward man, found himself the only senior representative of the Allies within a radius of thousands of miles. He ran spy rings, collected intelligence, smuggled people to freedom, took care of refugees and was threatened with assassination - and The Good War of Consul Reeves tells his story.
