内容説明
In 1900, US troops were part of an international force that helped crush the Boxer uprising in China. When the troops were withdrawn, one infantry regiment was left behind, marking the beginning of a sporadic build-up of all branches of the US military in China. This book examines the lives of the men who served in China from 1901 to 1937, and it marks the first effort to understand how the peace-time military lived on a foreign station. It offers a glimpse of the people serving in the US armed forces on the outposts of an empire, and a chance to view how the US military reacted to its role as a colonial occupying force. Focusing on the social aspects of the armed forces rather than on strategy and tactics, Noble explores how servicemen and their families lived within a culture that was completely foreign to them. An introduction provides a brief social and historical look at the country in which these men found themselves, as well as an account of the build up of military units in East Asia.
The following chapters explore such topics as the men who served in China, the nature of their duty, their off-duty pursuits, how they perceived China and its people, and why some military men chose to remain in East Asia. Working from both new and existing material, including interviews, oral histories, and questionnaires, Noble presents a portrait of the men who served. In addition to a large bibliography of oral histories and other materials, the book includes a group of photographs taken by former servicemen in China.
