Excerpt from In Red and Gold
American quarter, on into the broader Wusung. Here a great German mail liner lay at anchor, lighted from stem to stem. Farther down lay three American cruisers; and below these a junk, drifting dimly by with ribbed sails flapping and without the sign Of a light, built high astern, like the ghost of a medieval trader.

This book offers a detailed account of one fateful boat trip that took place in 1911 along the Yangtze River, a journey that captures the subtly shifting tensions and uncertainties surrounding the decline of traditional Chinese power amidst rising revolutionary sentiment. The cast of characters aboard the steamship, including a millionaire industrialist and his son, provide a microcosm of the social and political divisions within China at that time. Drawing on the nuanced observations of an American mate who intimately observes the dynamics on board, the author explores the challenges of navigating a rapidly changing world where Western powers and traditional Chinese values collide.
