Description
The Devil Soldier: The American Soldier of Fortune Who Became a God in China by Caleb Carr is a masterfully researched biography that reads like a historical thriller. Frederick Townsend Ward, the subject of this book, was an adventurer who fought for the emperor of China during the Taiping rebellion, history's bloodiest civil war. Carr's book is a thrilling and absorbing account of Ward's life, full of exotic detail and flair for narrative. It's a story that has been made for the movies, with its blend of action, politics, and intrigue. A scholarly work, yet engagingly written, The Devil Soldier is a compelling read for anyone interested in history and adventure. Praise for The Devil Soldier includes praise from authors such as Edward Rice, who describe it as "good, thorough, scholarly but absorbing".
