Particularly enjoyed a few comments on the rise of the prohibition lobby (who in many ways are still with us today, albeit in a different form) and the types of characters that championed it. I think this type of background information may well of taken up some of the space that could of been used for detail on the second opium war, but personally I think it's a sacrifice that was overall worth while to see things in some kind of context.
