An amazing story

Desmond Powers does a masterful job to draw his reader into his life story. He led a unique and interesting life and does a superb job writing about it. The "Little Foreign Devil" is a non-fiction book that is far more interesting than any fictional story! I recommend this book to all those who love biographies, or those interested in a look at modern history.

Life and times of foreign settlers in pre WWII China

A beautifully written, true life experience of the life and times of foreigners in China's treaty ports. A colorful life until the bombshell of Pearl Harbor when even taipans are reduced to coolies in Japanese prison camps. Richly illustrated with contemporary photos.
