「擔任香港總督是我的公職生涯當中非常重要的一環，甚至可以說是我畢生擔任過最重要的職位。我認為未來幾年香港所發生的一切，對所有人都至關重要。我們必須持續關切香港，為香港發聲，表明我們認同香港市民為自由民主勇敢奮鬥的價值觀。正如同我們從香港發生的事情所得知的那樣，我們不可認為這些價值觀能繼續存在是理所當然的。香港為自由、個人權利和尊嚴而戰，這也是我們共同奮鬥的目標。」──彭定康
一百多年前，英國以租借方式從清末中國手中獲得香港大部分的土地（即新界）。到了1992年7月，彭定康以末任英國派任總督的身分前往香港履新，準備在1997年將香港主權移交給中國，而非依循過去數十年英國處理其他殖民地的慣例讓其獨立。接下來五年內，彭定康在其港督任内撰寫這些日記，詳細描述香港作為英國殖民地的運作方式，以及隨著主權移交臨近之日所發生的各種事件。
這本日記對於與北京當局的談判、強化香港（遲來的）的民主制度，以及彭定康如何尋求適度的自治制度讓香港在1997年後能持續運作，提供了前所未有的真知灼見。出乎意料的是，不只中國共產黨反對彭定康的政制改革，一些英國商人和政府高官也對彭定康的作為非常不悅。對這些人來說，與北京保持良好的關係似乎比較重要，香港的政治自由和法治反倒是枝微末節。
本書英文版在香港主權移交25週年之際出版，作者反思過去到現在與北京當局打交道的種種經歷。書末短文〈香港的毀壞〉描述香港自1997年以來的情勢發展，對近年香港所遭受的挫敗做了一番權威性的評估。

Second one, first one lasted a good while
We leave it outside in the weather with solid results for our backyard dog, and the dog loves this thing. It's our go to toy for her, ... perfect for kick to fetch, tug of war, hide in the shirt, bump the human leg when it is wet, etc. ;) The first one we used and used and finally it started to show too much weathering, mildew, and finally breaking after like 1.5 years... we have extremely hot and wet weather here. When new though, these balls take a pounding. Our 50 pound dog can play tug of war to the extent we can pick her up while she holds onto the ball with her teeth. The ball doesn't flinch and the dog loves it. Kicking it is fun because you can give it a wallop and it won't go over the fence since the design absorbs a fair bit of the kick energy, but it is still enough for an adult or teen to send it about 1/4 an acre away. What else... oh the dog has a funny habit of finding the one spot that isn't an empty pentagon... as in the plastic is filled in there... and she likes to bit on that part especially during tug of war. I should also mention our dog literally breaks apart and sometimes eats sticks and twigs in the yard, can't be healthy, so a nice diversion is this ball that she will chew on once in a while without destroying it.

Absolutely love this brand of ball for my dog
I end up replacing these every couple years, yep that's right, years. My border collie will grab this ball in his mouth and then kick another ball around. Don't know why he has to have something in his mouth to play soccer, but he is unique. He managed to tear one of these up when he was in his teething stage, but it took him months, and I took it away as soon as he managed to remove a piece of it. Otherwise, we usually lose these much more often than them getting destroyed through constant chewing, and I suspect heavy weathering outside for an extended period of time. Nowadays he doesn't chew on rubber nearly that often, he has developed his own picky preferences. This ball is his must have for playing around. He loves to drop it down the stairs and play fetch with himself. It's easy for him to grab, it isn't heavy so we don't worry about furnishing, walls, or family members when he is tossing it around. It is much more durable than most, with the exception of really heavy chewers/teething, even then it held up for a long time. As long as you are careful to remove it if they manage to chew through I would even try it out with teething puppies. The lawnmower is also this balls nemesis, it loses every time. If only I could convince the dog that he needs to stop sacrificing toys to the lawnmower :-)

Will Last!!!
My Saban is a black lab/pittie mix and is a very aggressive chewer with the bulldog jaws. I had bought the large ball for him and to be honest I didn't think it would be as big as it is or as heavy 😂😂😂!!! It's made of a very durable plastic and is holding up extremely well to his chewing on it!!! I'll be honest and say that unless you're using it outside and have some really good muscles in your arm that I would recommend buying this in the smaller size!!!! I normally play with him inside with his toys when the weather isn't good for going outside, but I don't throw this one inside because #1 it's so heavy and big that I can't throw it very good and # if I was to play with it inside I'm afraid the weight of it would break something!!! I would say that this is a great quality and very durable, but I wouldn't buy the large one again!!! I would definitely recommend this brand in a smaller size ball 👌 😊😊

Great product...wish you had color options
My dogs love these balls, but I wish you could choose the color. This is my dog's favorite toy. He can play tug of war with his siblings, and the ball usually lasts for quite awhile. Considering they are usually pretty destructive puppers, this is a minor miracle.
But, I can't just pick his favorite color and get it delivered. I have to play roulette, and pray that his color is the one that I get when I open the box. If they can allow us to choose the color(s) that we want, then this review will be upgraded to 5 stars.

A silent toy that still holds a dog’s interest
We bought this large size for our Rottweiler- but it was our 45# dog who fell in love with it. Cooper is 16, has kidney disease, dementia and loss of muscle coordination; so, it was an absolute joy to watch him engage with this toy. His foot went through the ball once, but he figured it out. He pushes it with his nose, and tries to squeak it. He “talks” to it. We haven’t heard that in a long time. It’s light enough that he can lift it - and it rolls and bounces nicely. For him it’s perfect. Our Rottie seems to understand that it’s his toy. Now, that’s love and understanding.
