Craigie's efforts to avoid war are only now becoming clear as new material is uncovered. Sir Robert was convinced that most of the JapanesetCabinet, and Admiral Yamamoto, were opposed to war with the USA, and would have accepted atnegotiated settlement.

American, Gene Gleason, was more impressed: 'How do 15,000 British run this place -it is evident from the most perfunctory glance around the streets that the British do run Hong Kong; autocratically, efficiently, firmly, sometimes unimaginatively, never with any pretence of popular rule, but always with strict justice.' But, he added sadly, 'if only they were a little more lovable'. (Gleason, Hong Kong)

NOTES 599
CHAPTER 16 Darren Goodsir, South China
Two good, indignant books by journalists resident in Hong Kong for much of the time are Kevin Rafferty's City on the Rocks and Felix Patrikeeff's Mouldering Pearl. Hong Kong! Hong Kong!,
by Dick Wilson, is written with the inside knowledge of the founding editor of the Far Eastmz Eamomic Revin1J. Lau Siu-kai's Society and Politics in Hong Kong is a valuable sociological analysis of the evolution of Hong Kong attitudes. The two volumes of 'The Other Hong Kong Report' are a valuable corrective to the sometimes bland official view.

CHAPTER 17
Sir Percy Cradock's Experim.s of China (London, 1995) provides an invaluable, candid but decently guarded account of his discussions with the Chinese which, together with Robert Cottrell's The End of Hong Kong (London, 1993), has given a clearer picture of the Anglo-Chinese negotiations over Hong Kong between
1982 and 1985 than that afforded by the official publications, although the minutes of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee are revealing. Gerald
Segal's The Pete of Hong Kong, Mark Roberti's The Fall of Hong Kong and Michael Yahuda's Hong Kong: Chinaa's Challenge are all important.

Much of the information in this chapter is drawn from interviews in Hong Kong and elsewhere, not all of which should be attributable, but all of which is judged reliable.

Neither Sir David nor Lady Wilson had been through the diplomatic mill. Sir David spent only a few years in post, and none after his marriage. Some found a lack of social adaptability a handicap to easy relations, and Sir David's performance was criticized by the 1989 Foreign Affairs Committee.

was not until John Major came to
power that his abilities were allowed
full scope. The idea that a politician
might be appointed as Governor was
floated in 1989 by the Liberal

and enthusiastically adopted by the
Prime Minister.
