Amoy 3. Chusan, Chinhai, And Ningpo 4. The Chinese And The War 5. The Yang-tse-kiang 6. The Treaty Of Nanking CANTON The call made by the Indian Government upon Sir Hugh Gough was the result of twelve months' experience of desultory warfare in China. Great Britain and the Celestial Empire had been on the verge of warfare since the beginning of 1839. The trouble arose from a series of commercial disputes, partly connected with the opium traffic, and partly arising out of Chinese demands which seemed outrageous to European eyes. Into the causes of the first China War we cannot here enter1; they are at once too intricate and too controversial to render a brief summary either fair or desirable; and the initial difficulties were in the distance, and almost forgotten, by the date of Sir Hugh Gough's arrival. The first action in the war was fought in November, 1839; two British frigates defeated a number of Chinese war-junks off Chuenpee. No further encounter took place till the summer of the following year, when an expedition, under Sir Gordon Bremer, appeared off the coast of China. It numbered fifteen men-of-war, with four armed steamers, and twentyfive transports carrying some 4,000 soldiers. It was hoped that this display of force might be sufficient 1 The reader is referred to The History of China, byMr. I). C. Boulger, for a lucid statement on this point. to frighten the Chinese into submission, and Sir Gordon Bremer, leaving some ships at the mouth of the Canton river to protect the British inhabitants of Canton, proceeded to the island of Chusan, which he occupied in the beginning of July, 1840. The result was far from fulfilling the expectations of Lord Palmerston's Government. The Chinese, confident in...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough, is an interesting and controversial figure of the late Georgian and early Victorian British Army. It is said he commanded in more battles than any other British soldier of this period, save for the Duke of Wellington. Despite this there are many who have questioned his command capability and his competence, particularly where the two Sikh Wars are concerned. In this, the first major account of his life for over one hundred years, the author seeks not to defend Gough but to better understand him. This is done by attempting to draw out the other periods of his life. By so doing we gain a greater understanding of his background, experiences and influences. Gough, like so many British officers, was part of the Anglo-Irish community. However unlike many he wore his Irish heritage with pride, and would always refer to himself as an Irishman. Yet he was a 'Unionist' and fiercely proud of the British Empire. Born into a military tradition he first wore the King's uniform at the age of thirteen. He saw extensive service during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. He fought in Southern Africa and the Caribbean. During the Peninsular War he commanded the 87th Foot and was said to have been the most experienced battalion commander of the conflict. After the war he served in southern Ireland during the counterinsurgency response to the 'Rockite' movement. After a lengthy period on half-pay and promotion to major general he was appointed to command a battalion in the Madras Army. It was from here that he was dispatched to command British forces fighting in China. He worked closely and effectively with his civilian and naval counterparts and was considered to have been an extremely effective commander. Returning to India he was overlooked for command of the Madras Army but was instead rewarded with the appointment of Commander-in-Chief in India. In this capacity he conquered the Gwalior State and the Sikh Empire and greatly enhanced British India. However his victories came at a high price in terms of casualties, and he was much criticized for this. Despite this he never lost a battle. He was loved by his men, largely because he suffered with them and was always willing to share in the danger. In battle he wore a white fighting coat, which made him easily identifiable to both his men and the enemy. Whilst his command ability was sometimes questioned, his courage never was. His life is an interesting tale of a career soldier, a fighting soldier, who was, as an officer who served under him remarked, "as brave as a lion".

Book excerpt: This moment was not his alone, nor could it ever have come about without himaGough Whitlam turned to Graham Freudenberg, touched him lightly on the shoulder, saying, 'It's been a long road, Comrade, but we're there', and walked out to meet the spotlight... Acclaimed biographer Jenny Hocking's Gough Whitlam: A Moment in History is the first contemporary and definitive biographical study of the former Labor Prime Minister. From his childhood in the fledging city of Canberra to his first appearance as Prime Minister (playing Neville Chamberlain), to his extensive war service in the Pacific and marriage to Margaret, the champion swimmer and daughter of Justice Wilfred Dovey, the biography draws on previously unseen archival material, extensive interviews with family and colleagues, and exclusive interviews with Gough Whitlam himself. Hocking's narrative skill and scrupulous research reveals an extraordinary and complex man, whose life is, in every way, formed by the remarkable events of previous generations of his family, and who would, in turn, change Australian political and cultural developments in the twentieth century. Gough Whitlam: A Moment in History is a magnificent biography that illuminates the path that took one man to power.
