Focusing on the recruitment of Chinese labourers during World War I, the book delves into the experiences of 140,000 workers contracted by the French and British governments. It details their roles, living conditions, and the attitudes of the governments towards them. Additionally, it highlights the continued use of Chinese labourers post-war and situates their experiences within the broader context of globalization during that era.
