Strangers on the Western Front. Chinese Workers in the Great War, Hardback

During World War I, Britain and France imported workers from their colonies to labor behind the front lines. The single largest group of support labor came not from imperial colonies, however, but from China. This title tells the story of the 140,000 Chinese men recruited for the Allied war effort.
