Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The unlikely story of Lea’s attempts to train a cadre of soldiers in American Chinatowns who would return to their homeland to make it a modern world power.” —Pacific Historical Review As a five-feet-three-inch hunchback who weighed about 100 pounds, Homer Lea (1876–1912), was an unlikely candidate for life on the battlefield, yet he became a world-renowned military hero. Homer Lea: American Soldier of Fortune paints a revealing portrait of a diminutive yet determined man who never earned his valor on the field of battle, but left an indelible mark on his times. Lawrence M. Kaplan draws from extensive research to illuminate the life of a “man of mystery,” while also yielding a clearer understanding of the early twentieth-century Chinese underground reform and revolutionary movements. Lea’s career began in the inner circles of a powerful Chinese movement in San Francisco that led him to a generalship during the Boxer Rebellion. Fixated with commanding his own Chinese army, Lea’s inflated aspirations were almost always dashed by reality. Although he never achieved the leadership role for which he strived, he became a trusted advisor to revolutionary leader Dr. Sun Yat-sen during the 1911 revolution that overthrew the Manchu Dynasty. As an author, Lea garnered fame for two books on geopolitics: The Valor of Ignorance, which examined weaknesses in the American defenses and included dire warnings of an impending Japanese-American war, and The Day of the Saxon, which predicted the decline of the British Empire. More than a character study, this biography provides insight into the establishment and execution of underground reform and revolutionary movements within US immigrant communities and in southern China, as well as early twentieth-century geopolitical thought.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enigmatic personal qualities that marked Sun Yat-sen during his lifetime have encouraged controversy concerning him ever since his death more than a generation ago. Mr. Schiffrin's book deals with the first forty years of Sun's life, and attempts to find the key to this controversial personality. His study is at once biography and history, for it goes beyond Sun to the whole texture of Chinese history of Sun's time. Drawing on diplomatic archives, police reports, personal interviews, contemporary newspapers, and other hitherto unused sources in Chinese, Japanese, and Western languages, the author reveals unsuspected facets of Sun's versatile plotting on three continents, and traces the convolutions of his pragmatic style in unprecedented detail.

Book excerpt: The struggle in China between the Manchus and the old Ming Dynasty had been going on for over three centuries when Captain Ansel O’Banion signed his name in blood to the secret oath with the Po Wong Wui and became involved in the Chinese revolutionary movement. The book reveals how O’Banion commanded the secret-training of Chinese in some 21 cities in the United States; how he was initiated into the secret society of the Po Wong Wui; how the Royalists in this country try to take over the revolutionary movement and attempted to assassinate Dr. Sun Yat-Sen; how he smuggled Dr. Sun into this country; how he obtained for General Homer Lea the secret war plans of Japan, upon which Lea based his book, The Valor of Ignorance; how the Chinese trained in this country as officers were smuggled into China where they enlisted as privates in the Royal Manchu Army, ready to take over when the revolution occurred and why, when the revolution finally happened at Double Ten Day (October 10, 1911) as the Chinese call the Tenth Day of the tenth Month, this revolution was the first great, practically bloodless revolution in the history of the world.
Download or read book Revolutionaries Monarchists and Chinatowns written by L. Eve Armentrout Ma and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship of overseas Chinese to the Chinese revolution of 1911 has always been viewed in light of their involvement with Sun Yat-sen. Of equal significance, however, was the growth and development in overseas communities of the radical reform party of K'ang Yu-wei and Liang Ch'ich'ao, pro-Sun revolutionaries, and other political groups greatly influenced the involvement of Chinese immigrants in the 1911 revolution and produced substantial changes in the overseas communities themselves. Chinese in the Americas, especially North America and Hawaii, provide a good illustration of these points but until now have received little attention. Revolutionaries, Monarchists, and Chinatowns provides a comprehensive and original treatment of this dimension of Asian American politics. L. Eve Armentrout Ma has judiciously analyzed the abundant documentation on the development and functioning of the reform and revolutionary parties, showing the interactions between the two parties and with pre-existing social organizations such as hui-kuan, surname associations, and Triad lodges. Particularly important is her use of the contemporary Chinese-language newspapers, a rich source of information on the period.
