â € œ The French at Foochowâ € recounts a pivotal yet often overlooked moment in Sino-French relations during the late 19th century. This historical work, originally published in 1884, details the naval engagement at Foochow (now Fuzhou) and its broader implications for French colonial ambitions in Asia and Chinese sovereignty.
Authored by James F. Roche and L. L. Cowen, the book offers a contemporary perspective on the strategies, forces, and consequences of the conflict. It provides insights into the technological disparities between the French and Chinese navies, the political maneuvering surrounding the event, and the impact on regional power dynamics. This book is valuable for historians and readers interested in naval history, 19th-century imperialism, and Sino-French relations.
