Well, since we've got ourselves a new edition, I thought I'd trot this out. A first-hand account of the 1894 battle of the Yalu river in the Sino-Japanese War by Philo Norton McGiffin, an Annapolis-educated American who served as a naval instructor and administrator for the Qing as well as commander of the Imperial flagship, the Zhen Yuan (WG: Chen Yuen), during the battle.
