Originally published: 1991. Biography.
Across the sea to fight for China --
A new race of warriors --
Perhaps you smile --
As if by magic --
Not as was hoped, dead --
Astonished at the courage --
His heart is hard to fathom --
Accustomed to the enemy's fire --
Poor old Ward.
This book tells the tale of American mercenary, Frederick Townsend Ward. A courageous leader who became the first American mandarin, Ward won crucial victories for the Emperor of China during the Taiping Rebellion, history's bloodiest civil war.
