This volume reveals the little-known story of the 90-year presence
of American forces in China until the fall of Peking in 1941.
Included is coverage of the first operations on the Pearl River in
1856 as well as US involvement in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. As
China entered a chaotic period in her history, known as the years
of the "Warlords," American marines also participated in numerous
small-scale amphibious landings. Finally, during the later
Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) and early into World War II
(1939-1945), US volunteers of the "Flying Tigers" became renowned
for their combat missions in support of Chinese Nationalist forces,
and their aerial duels are also recounted by the author John P.
Langellier, who has spent several years researching the subject in
the US and China. Discover the history of these various actions and
the different services involved, recreated in color artwork and
illustrated with rare, previously unpublished photographs.
