This
book is a record of the actions of the Hong Kong
Volunteer Defence Corps in the Battle for Hong Kong in
December 1941. When first published in 1953, the text
was the first general account of the Battle for Hong
Kong, and it has since served as a source for other
books on the conflict. It is particularly significant as
it was written by a Company Commander who took part in
the fighting.

Whispers
and Moans Interviews with the men and women of
Hong Kong's sex industry
by
Yeeshan Yang
276 pages, paperback HK$140 / US$18
Hong Kong has
a bewildering range of sex businesses offering services
to suit all imaginable tastes: from the glitzy
nightclubs of Tsim Sha Tsui East, through the saunas,
karaoke lounges and one-woman brothels of Mong Kok, to
the streets and short-time hotels of Sham Shui Po.
Chinese-language sex
magazines print reviews of individual prostitutes, and
promote an ever-widening array of bizarre sexual
practices. Even mainstream newspapers engage pimps as
columnists. Business appears to be booming -- but there
are hungry newcomers to this underground economy. How do
local prostitutes deal with the ruthless competition
posed by an endless supply of girls from mainland
China?
