This is a factual account of the life of an expat Officer in the Royal Hong Kong Police who helped to maintain law and order in the thriving Crown Colony prior to Chinese rule, an era of endemic corruption which resulted in the near mutiny of a 20,000 strong force. The author, pseudonym Jack Humphreys, served as a Bomban, an Inspector of Police, during this critical period of British history. He describes his experiences walking the Hong Kong beat, confronting illegal immigration, leading an SAS-trained anti-terrorist team, setting up a covert Operations Unit of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau and then commanding a Regional Intelligence Unit, in a 20,000 strong force with around 600 expatriate officers. On Christmas Day 1978 Jack and his anti-terrorist team were featured on international television as they landed from an RAF helicopter on the Vietnamese refugee freighter "Huey Fong" to safely extract a Police Tactical Unit platoon delayed on board for over 24 hours. The Yorkshireman was never far from dispute and controversy, being scapegoated into military and police disciplinary tribunals, and courageously sticking by an SAS colleague prosecuted for Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm and Possession of an Offensive Weapon. On conviction the soldier received six strokes of the cane at Stanley Prison before release and repatriation to the UK. That soldier was Pete Winner, author of the international best-seller "Soldier I, An SAS Hero". Jack supported Pete throughout the trial, helping him retain his military career and eventually return to the SAS Regiment where he engaged in the Iranian Embassy Siege and the Falklands War. He returned to uniform for two years and during periods of exceptional success against narcotics trafficking received threats from shadowy triad and police figures suggestive of corruption within the British administrative �lite. After serving a further two years with the Special Duties Unit Jack transferred to command the covert Operations Unit of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau as a Detective Chief Inspector, countering 'Big Circle' gangs from Mainland China and arresting high-ranking triad officials before moving to develop a Regional Intelligence Unit in the New Territories.

Les Bird joined the Hong Kong Marine Police in 1976 during a period of rapid change in one of the British Empire's few remaining colonies, and witnessed the last years of the hard-working, hard-drinking colonial policemen handing out rough justice in the World of Suzie Wong. He led his men in combat with the growing organized crime in the years leading up to the handover of the colony back to China in 1997 and was one of a handful of senior officers instrumental in dealing with highly sensitive issues including a flood of refugees fleeing Vietnam and the increase in the smuggling of guns, drugs, people, and luxury goods either to or from Communist China. Filled with gripping stories spanning 20 years, A Small Band of Men follows Bird and his cohorts including his mentor, "Diamond" Don Bishop, an eccentric officer whose volatile temper, larger-than-life personality, and overbearing presence was a major influence in Bird's career. These tales provide a fascinating insight into the intersection of cultures that is Hong Kong. Supported by his second-in-command, Joe Poon, Bird gained the trust of his band of men to such an extent that they were willing to follow him into danger, even at the risk of their own lives.

It is April 1997, and all of Hong Kong is counting down to July 1, when Britain will hand over rule of the country to China. Public anxiety about the transfer of power is running high, but “Charlie” Chan Siu-kai’s biggest concern is a gruesome triple murder case, with no solid leads. Chan, a half-Chinese, half-Irish Hong Kong native and chief inspector with the Royal Hong Kong police, thinks he’s found a breakthrough when three mutilated heads are found floating in Chinese waters. But he grows increasingly frustrated as the Chinese police actively hinder—and the English bureaucrats pointedly ignore—his investigation. As Chan tracks the killers, he discovers cover-ups and conspiracies running deeper than even he had imagined. All the while, in the background, the clock ticks down to the day the British leave . . .

When the British occupied the tiny island of Hong Kong during the First Opium War, the Chinese empire was well into its decline, while Great Britain was already in the second decade of its legendary "Imperial Century." From this collision of empires arose a city that continues to intrigue observers. Melding Chinese and Western influences, Hong Kong has long defied easy categorization. John M. Carroll's engrossing and accessible narrative explores the remarkable history of Hong Kong from the early 1800s through the post-1997 handover, when this former colony became a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. The book explores Hong Kong as a place with a unique identity, yet also a crossroads where Chinese history, British colonial history, and world history intersect. Carroll concludes by exploring the legacies of colonial rule, the consequences of Hong Kong's reintegration with China, and significant developments and challenges since 1997.
