Dikötter, Frank, Lars Peter Laamann and Zhou Xun (2004) Narcotic Culture: A History of Drugs in China, C. Hurst: London, UK
|
| Excellent review of drug use in China by three very well respected historians. Persuasively counters much received wisdom about the sources and uses of opium in the late 19th and early 20th century and the attituteds to it by the various political entities.
