At sunset on that memorable Monday 30 June 1997, when the Union Jack was lowered from Government House for the final time, Hong Kong had been ruled by no less than 28 British Governors and two Japanese Generals.
This book describes with colourful and surprising insight the life and times of these men who ruled the colony from Upper Albert Road, (Government House) since 1841.
