COHEN MORRIS: (1887-1970) British-Canadian Adventurer, aide-de-camp to Sun Yat-sen and a Major-General in the Chinese National Revolutionary Army. Rare book signed, a hardback edition of Two-Gun Cohen by Charles Drage, published by Jonathan Cape, London, 1954 (second impression). Signed in bold black fountain pen ink by Cohen to the front free endpaper, also adding some Chinese characters and with a small square red stamp alongside, further signed by Charles Drage in black fountain pen ink above, adding the date 9th December 1954 in his hand. Bound in red cloth (spine faded) and lacking the dust jacket. About VG Cohen's life story is an interesting one - he arrived in China in 1922 and trained Sun Yat-sen's small armed forces to box and shoot, and he soon became one of Sun's main protectors, accompanying the Chinese leader to war zones and conferences. Cohen carried two guns with him and the western community were intrigued by Sun's gun-toting protector and began calling him 'Two-Gun Cohen', a name which stuck, hence the title of the present biography. When the Japanese invaded China in 1937 Cohen joined the fight and undertook some tasks for the British Intelligence Agency, Special Operations Executive (SOE). Cohen was in Hong Kong when the Japanese attacked in December 1941 and, on the fall of Hong Kong, the Japanese imprisoned Cohen in Stanley Prison Camp. He was not released until late 1943 as part of a rare prisoner exchange.
