China in the 1910s and 1920s was dominated by a succession of
military strongmen who fought with each other for the control of
the country. Weak central government meant that provincial
governors or Warlords and their personal armies were left to fight
over the country. The wars that resulted cost millions of civilian
deaths and the death of hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers.
In total a staggering 500 wars were fought over a seventeen year
period from 1911 to 1928 starting with the fall of the Qing Dynasty
and ending with the victory of the Nationalists in 1928. Some of
these conflicts involved a few hundred men on each side, while the
larger wars involved up to one million men with tanks, armored
trains, and aircraft. This book will, for the first time, show in
detail the history of the Armies of Warlord China featuring over
600 rare photographs and illustrations. The book also includes
color sections on the uniforms, aircraft and awards and medals of
the Chinese Warlord Armies.
