WarGameVault is a website for gamers, especially (or maybe exclusively) for those gamers doing war games. I'm not interested in any of that. But occasionally WarGameVault will offer, in their deal of the day, historical military books (I think that the rationale for them selling them is that many gamers want to make their reenactments as accurate as possible, and books like that help them to do so). And _that_ is something that greatly interests me. Well, today's WarGameVault is offering one such ebook in their deal of the day.

The title is _The British in China: Gallant Deeds in the Reign of Queen Victoria. The ebook is a _watermarked_ PDF. The price is only $1.00. That's 80% or so off of the regular price of $4.99.

Frankly, I never knew that Great Britain had ever bčen in China. How about you?

Here is part of the website's blurb:
"A Matomaton [the publisher, G] military history reference book.
A compilation of WHG Kingston's writings on British actions in China during the reign of Queen Victoria.
This PDF gathers together Kingston's articles written for two volumes that charted the wars and campaigns fought by Great Britain in various parts of the world.
Details
The PDF contains:
-- Four pages for the cover and legalese, a short biography of WHG Kingston and the table of contents (with active links to each section of the text).
-- Fifteen articles describing and discussing particular actions, campaigns and wars fought by the British Army and Navy in China.
-- Each of the four major sections is preceded by a title page illustrated with an image or map appropriate to the subject."

Here's the URL where you can go to get the ebook: _http://www.wargamevault.com/m/product/196110_.
