France And Tongking: A Narrative Of The Campaign Of 1884 And The Occupation Of Further India (1885) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164651154)

""France and Tongking"" is a historical account of the 1884 campaign and occupation of further India by the French, as written by James George Scott, a British colonial administrator and scholar. The book provides a detailed narrative of the events that led to the French expedition to Tongking, a region in northern Vietnam, and the subsequent military campaign against the Chinese-backed Vietnamese forces. The author describes the political and economic motivations behind the French intervention, as well as the military strategies and tactics employed by both sides during the conflict. Scott also provides insights into the cultural and social dynamics of the region, including the role of religion and ethnicity in shaping the attitudes of the local population towards the French and the Vietnamese. The book also covers the aftermath of the campaign, including the establishment of French colonial rule in the region and the impact of the conflict on the wider geopolitical landscape of Southeast Asia. Overall, ""France and Tongking"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of colonialism, imperialism, and military conflict in the late 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.
