Industry reviews
"Wakeman has added a major new element to the rich variety of books on Shanghai...a convincing picture of the nightmarish problem of controlling Shanghai in the 20s and 30s..."
New York Times Book Review - Jonathan D. Spence 

"'Policing Shanghai 1927-1937', Frederic Wakeman, Jr.'s important and absorbing book, examines the process whereby the Chinese nationalists' genuine effort to create an efficient, modern police force in Shanghai as an advertisement for their regime degenerated into a grotesque display-window for all its worst defects....Wakeman has performed a signal service in demystifying a subject that has suffered from sensational misrepresentation and exaggeration at the hands of less scholarly writers."
Times Literary Supplement - Bernard Wasserstein (07/28/1995)

"A convincing picture of the nightmarish problem of controlling Shanghai in the 20s and 30s....By concentrating on the apparently narrow history of police procedures, Wakeman has illuminated the much larger story of Chiang's failure, and he has pointed to some of the main reasons for the ultimate collapse of the Nationalist regime on the mainland in 1949."
New York Review of Books - Jonathan D. Spence
