In The Mikado's Service: A Story Of Two Battle Summers In China (1901) is a historical non-fiction book written by William Elliot Griffis. The book is set in China during the Boxer Rebellion of 1900 and follows the experiences of a group of Japanese soldiers who were sent to help quell the rebellion. The book is divided into two parts, each covering a summer of battle. The first part details the arrival of the Japanese troops in China and their initial encounters with the Boxers. The second part covers the more intense battles that took place as the Japanese and their allies fought to put down the rebellion.Throughout the book, Griffis provides a vivid and detailed account of the battles, as well as the cultural and political context surrounding the conflict. He also includes personal anecdotes and interviews with soldiers to give readers a sense of what it was like to be on the front lines.In addition to its historical content, In The Mikado's Service also explores themes of loyalty, duty, and sacrifice. The book is a fascinating look at a little-known conflict and the role that Japan played in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
