Gunboat Justice Volume 3

The book explores the historical impact of extraterritoriality in China, Japan, and Korea during the mid-19th century, highlighting the establishment of consular courts by Britain and the United States. It delves into the complexities faced by these courts, including issues of war, corruption, and justice, through the lens of a diverse cast of characters. Author Doug Clark, a practicing lawyer with extensive experience in the region, draws on archival research to vividly recreate this often-overlooked chapter in history and its lasting effects on East-West relations.
