1985: A Historical Report (Hong Kong 2036 from the Hungarian)

Description

1985: A Historical Report — also known as Hong Kong 2036 from the Hungarian — is Gyorgy Dalos's provocative and prophetic examination of one of the 20th century's most consequential geopolitical transitions. Published by Random House in 1984, Dalos captures the mounting tension surrounding the 1997 handover of Hong Kong from British to Chinese rule, analyzing the colonial legacy and the looming structural changes that would redefine the region.\n\nDalos's work is both a historical document and a political forecast. He interrogates the British colonial administration's policies, the Chinese government's evolving stance, and the local population's uncertain future. This is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Hong Kong, decolonization, or the broader study of how political systems adapt and fracture under pressure. The EPUB edition makes this classic accessible to modern readers interested in Cold War history and contemporary geopolitics.
