A veteran journalist specializing in Asia, and China in particular, Lewis tells the story of over 180,000 Chinese workers who were sent to France the Middle East during the First World War to provide non-military support behind Allied lines to make up for the depletion of Europe's labor force in the carnage at the front lines. He focuses on the American, British, and Chinese counselors, interpreters, and instructors from the Young Men's Christian Association, who shepherded the Chinese Labor Corps through the foreign and war-torn environment.
