Dillon, Richard
The Hatchet Men. The Story of the Tong Wars in San Francisco's Chinatown
New York Coward-McCann 1962, First edition. 375pp. Photographs by Arnold Genthe and others; bibliography. Red cloth, gilt. Owner's rubber-stamped name, else a fine copy with lightly worn pictorial dust jacket. Well-researched and well-written, this book details the story of San Francisco's Chinatown in the days of the tong wars. It is the story of mayhem, assassination, extortion, prostitution, drugs, vendetta and the payoff, "Hatchet Men Style," so flagrant that nothing short of the 1906 San Francisco fire and earthquake could curb it.
