| | | Relying on the diaries, letters and memoirs of the foreign defenders in the diplomatic district of Peking, and on her own extensive research from both Chinese and Western perspectives, Preston places readers squarely in the middle of events as they unfold during the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. Annotation: This history of the anti-foreign uprising which took place in China at the end of the 19th century tells of its origins in a martial arts movement, its spread across several Chinese provinces, and its ultimate suppression by combined Western forces that exacted a harsh and bloody toll on the Chinese people and their government.
