G, Vol. 1 of 2: Sometime Her Majesty's Minister to China Japan With Sir Harry's return to China as British Minister at Peking in 1883 my own share of the biography recommences, and here for the first time I have suffered from dearth of materials. The period of his tenure of the Legation was, however, unhappily so short that very little political work of the first importance could have been carried through before his premature death; and the general character of the unremitting toil which hastened his end is perhaps sufficiently indicated in the corre spondence which I have been enabled to quote. From what I have heard on high official authority I doubt whether the publication of his despatches of this anxious period - the time of the Tongking z'mbroglz'o - would add much of permanent interest to the biography, whilst it might very probably revive national animosities which had far better be soothed to sleep.

G., Sometime Her Majesty's Minister to China and Japan, Vol. 2 of 2: Minister Plenipotentiary to Japan by F. V. Dickins, to China by S. Lane-Poole If in endeavouring thus to elucidate his career and enable those who have no Special knowledge of Japanese affairs justly to appreciate its greatness, I seem to have given more prominence sometimes to the biographer than to his subject, I can only plead that there is very little in this volume which is not founded upon Sir Harry's own despatches, notes, memoranda, and drafts; though of course the full responsibility for every statement and Opinion is my own. So far as the scanty leisure my official duties have left me allowed, I have thus tried to give as full and faithful a presentment of Sir Harry's life in Japan and of his work there and in Korea as the far from copious materials at my disposal have permitted. From Sir Rutherford Alcock, sometime Sir Harry Parkes' chief, and previously Minister to Japan and to China, I have received the most cordial aid and counsel at every stage of my labours. To Mr Satow, now Minister at Tangier; to Mr W. G. Aston, formerly Japanese Secretary to h.ivi. Legation in Japan; to Mr freeman-mitford, m.p.; and to Baron von Siebold, I have to express my heartiest thanks for the constant kindness with which they have responded to my requests - sometimes I fear entailing much labour and research for assistance in putting together these memorials of their former chief. To Mr Y. Uchida, of Legation in London, I have had constant recourse for information, always most kindly and courteously given. In particular I have to thank him for much of the information con tained in the notices [have added in the Appendix of the great Japanese statesmen of the Revolution. To Mr Arthur Winstanley, sometime President of the Yoko hama Chamber of Commerce, and to Mr Chamberlain need I say it - a deep debt of gratitude is owing.

Download or read book Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom written by Stephen R. Platt and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping account of China’s nineteenth-century Taiping Rebellion, one of the largest civil wars in history. Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom brims with unforgettable characters and vivid re-creations of massive and often gruesome battles—a sweeping yet intimate portrait of the conflict that shaped the fate of modern China. The story begins in the early 1850s, the waning years of the Qing dynasty, when word spread of a major revolution brewing in the provinces, led by a failed civil servant who claimed to be the son of God and brother of Jesus. The Taiping rebels drew their power from the poor and the disenfranchised, unleashing the ethnic rage of millions of Chinese against their Manchu rulers. This homegrown movement seemed all but unstoppable until Britain and the United States stepped in and threw their support behind the Manchus: after years of massive carnage, all opposition to Qing rule was effectively snuffed out for generations. Stephen R. Platt recounts these events in spellbinding detail, building his story on two fascinating characters with opposing visions for China’s future: the conservative Confucian scholar Zeng Guofan, an accidental general who emerged as the most influential military strategist in China’s modern history; and Hong Rengan, a brilliant Taiping leader whose grand vision of building a modern, industrial, and pro-Western Chinese state ended in tragic failure. This is an essential and enthralling history of the rise and fall of the movement that, a century and a half ago, might have launched China on an entirely different path into the modern world.

Download or read book America: The New Imperialism written by Victor G. Kiernan and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invasion and occupation of Iraq have sparked considerable discussion about the nature of American imperialism, but most of it is focused on the short term. The classical historical approach of this book provides a convincing and compelling analysis of the different phases of American imperialism, which have now led to America becoming a global hegemon without any serious rivals. Victor Kiernan, one of the world's most respected historians, has used his nuanced knowledge of history, literature and politics to trace the evolution of the American Empire: he includes accounts of relations between Indians and white settlers, readings of the work of Melville and Whitman, and an analysis of the way that money and politics became so closely intertwined. Eric Hobsbawm's preface provides an insight into his own thoughts on American imperialism, and a valuable introduction to Victor Kiernan's work. Together, they shed useful light on today's urgent debates about the uses and misuses of seemingly unlimited military power, a lack of respect for international agreements, and the right to 'pre-emptive defense'.

Download or read book America written by Victor Kiernan and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there have been many analyses of American imperialism, few have equalled the breadth or insight of this seminal text, one of the first to provide a historical perspective on the origins of the American empire. Victor Kiernan, one of the world's most respected historians, employs a nuanced knowledge of history, literature, and politics in tracing the evolution of American power. Far reaching and ambitious in scope, the book combines accounts of the changing relationship between Native Americans and the white population with readings of the works of key cultural figures, such as Melville and Whitman, as well as an analysis of the way in which money and politics became so closely intertwined in American democracy. Also included is a preface by Eric Hobsbawm providing insight into his own views on American imperialism as well as a valuable introduction to Victor Kiernan's work. Together, they shed useful light on such issues as the uses and misuses of American military might, its lack of respect for international agreements, and the right to pre-emptive defence – issues which remain just as urgent today.
