The British Arms in North China and Japan: Peking 1860, Kagosima 1862 (1864) is a historical book written by David Field Rennie. The book covers the British military expeditions in North China and Japan during the mid-19th century. Specifically, it focuses on two significant events: the capture of Peking in 1860 and the bombardment of Kagoshima in 1862. The book provides a detailed account of the military campaigns, including the strategies employed by the British forces and the resistance put up by the Chinese and Japanese armies. It also explores the political and diplomatic context of the expeditions, including the tensions between China and the Western powers and the impact of the expeditions on the relationships between Japan and the West.The author, David Field Rennie, was a British journalist and diplomat who had firsthand experience of the events described in the book. He draws on his own observations and interviews with key figures involved in the expeditions to provide a comprehensive and insightful account of these pivotal moments in British and East Asian history.Overall, The British Arms in North China and Japan: Peking 1860, Kagosima 1862 (1864) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British imperialism, East Asian history, and the dynamics of military and diplomatic relations between Western powers and Asian nations in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
