Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A riveting account of the Royal Naval Brigade in ActionMost accounts of the Boxer rebellion in China during 1900 inevitably focus upon the siege of the diplomatic legations in Peking and their subsequent relief by a coalition of international military expeditionary forces. While this book, of course, concerns this campaign, it is specifically a personal account written by a British midshipman of his own experiences as part of the Royal Naval Brigade engaged in the fighting in and around Tientsin. This aspect of Dix's book forms the majority of the text, with the exception of passages concerning events outside his view which were written based upon anecdotal reports provided by other officers. This Leonaur edition was previously published under the title 'The World's Navies in the Boxer Rebellion, China 1900', which might lead the reader to imagine that Dix's book offered something of broader scope. In fact, this is an account of close encounters, which not only covers allied fleet actions against Chinese craft, forts and artillery, but also offers detailed insights into the sharp end of Naval Brigade action when the Bluejackets left their ships to serve as infantry ashore-this includes descriptions of assaults of defensive positions under fire and of street fighting. This highly readable book is thoroughly recommended to all students of the subject.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.…

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. First edition. A very scarce first-hand account of the Boxer Rebellion from a British midshipman, with this copy belonging to Rear-Admiral Cloudesley Varyl Robinson. The first edition of The World's Navies in the Boxer Rebellion (China 1900), a very scarce first-hand account of the Boxer Rebellion by British serving naval officer Lieut. Charles Calbry Dix. In the publisher's original blue cloth. Contains a photographic frontispiece and all thirteen other illustrated plates, as compared against a copy held by the Hathi Trust. Collated complete. This copy belonged to rear-admiral Sir Cloudesley Varyl Robinson, who served in the Boxer Rebellion as a midshipman, and later Gallipoli, and as a Flag Officer for Air Stations in the Second World War. Tipped in contemporary invitation for annual naval dinner to rear pastedown, dated 1905. Dix served as a midshipman and details his own experiences of the imperialist war between June and October 1900, including many of his own anecdotes and those from letters of fellow soldiers. The rebellion was known both for the collaboration between rival imperial powers against a weary China, and the atrocities inflicted by both sides. In the publisher's original blue cloth. Externally, mostly smart, with the odd faint handling mark to boards. Slight fading to the spine, and rubbing to joints and to edges. Slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine, and to the extremities. Faint offsetting to end papers. Robinson's bookplate to front pastedown and browned tipped in contemporary invitation for annual naval dinner to rear pastedown. A couple of small tipped-in passages to rear free end paper and half-title. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, with minor age toning to leaf extremities. Very Good.
