About this Item

316 pp., map, bibliography, index. dust jacket has small abrasions and small tears to edges, inscription in Chinese on FFEP. One of the strongest forces that swept over twentieth-century China was nationalism. Between 1904 and 1911, stimulated by the Japanese victory over the Russians in the Russo-Japanese War, and infused with a new spirit of modern nationalism, China began to make efforts to reclaim her railway rights from the various great powers. This book examines the basic characteristics of the Chinese nationalistic movement as seen in the railway affairs; the steps through which the movement struggled for a 'China for the Chinese' railway programme; and the major achievements and failures of these Chinese efforts.
