The United States Army in China, 1900-1938

A study of US-Chinese relations involving the US Army, this work focuses at the personnel level on the Army's service in China. While studies have been published of the US Marines' and US Navy's involvement in China, little attention has been given the Army's missions in this theatre. Operations in China were a key part of the history and traditions of the 9th, 14th, 15th and 31st Regiments, whose coats of arms still feature dragons as symbols of their service there.
