Ian Heath for Foundry Books This is a remarkably good book on a topic that will not, I fear, have a great market. Be that as it may the test and artwork (Ian did many of the WRG books) are excellent covering many areas that you will only find within these pages (unless you possess access to a major library). As a reference work or simply as an insight of a country that is far away and a people of which we know little it is very effective. The major Chinese armies are considered, as are the various rebellions of the period. These range through Boxers, Moslems in the West and Nien in the East. Formosa is also covered.
