Captain Casserly's book provides 1st person narrative from an English Officer assigned to India during operations in China during the Boxer Rebellion. If you like military history it is a great read. His analysis of all the "armies" deployed from all around the world during the first international military operation in 1898-1901 is throughly as seen by an English Officer. I have one of the originals signed by a 1st Bengal Lancer who fought in China during this "little war."
