The Taiping Rebellion was a civil war in China between the Manchu-led Qing dynasty and the Hakka-led Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It lasted from 1850 until the fall of the Taiping capital Tianjing (now Nanjing) in 1864, although the last rebel army was not wiped out until August 1871. In 1863 General Charles Gordon was appointed commander of the 'Ever Victorious Army', an expeditionary force assembled to protect British interests in China, leading it until the capture of Nanjing in 1864. The Ever Victorious Army was a mercenary force whose only loyalty was to money and whose men were interested in fighting only in order to gain the chance to plunder.Gordon felt very uncomfortable commanding this force and at one point had to order the summary execution of one of his officers when the latter tried to take the Ever-Victorious Army over to the Taipings, who had offered a generous bribe for switching sides. This book is an account of Gordon's expedition, edited from his journals by A. Egmont Hake.
