• catalog abstract ""Like most foreign troops stationed in China, the United States Marines' mission was to protect the American embassy and consulates, missionaries, tourists, and other citizens. During the half century covered by this book, the Marines saw a China that would never be again. The Europeans came to have privileges that were looked upon by everyone, even the Chinese, as a natural order. All that changed with the coming of World War II." "The author discusses early military operations in north China and the early legation guard, and examines in detail the Marines' experiences during the Boxer Rebellion and the siege of foreign legations in Peking in 1900. The book also covers Seymour's relief column, Waller's column, the capture of the Walled City of Tien-Tsin, and the eventual surrender of the U.S. Marines to the Japanese on December 8, 1941"--Jacket.".
