"A first-rate book which looks at China's part in the Great War,
which is largely overlooked by many. In 1914 China offered Britain
50,000 troops to recover the German colony in Shandong and in 1916
she sent a vast army of labourers to Europe where the Chinese
Labour Corps contributed greatly to the building and repair of
infrastructure like railways, roads, canals and trenches. The
author have produced a fascinating work well worthy of any reader's
time."-- "The Great War Magazine"
"Frances Wood and Christopher Arnander tell the story of China in
the Great War with clarity and objectivity."-- "The Times"
