Description
The Boxer Rebellion: China's War on Foreigners, 1900 In the summer of 1900, a 55-day confrontation between the Boxers and Westerners in Peking became a bloody and dramatic battle. The Boxers, known for their martial-arts skills, terrorized the Westerners, leading to the tragic deaths of missionary women who were chased from village to village and brutally murdered. This account of the Boxer Rebellion is based on personal experiences of those who were trapped in Peking, including missionary women who narrowly escaped with their lives. The story is told through the records of these individuals, offering a unique and powerful perspective on this pivotal moment in Chinese history. Diana Preston's book provides a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of the Boxer Rebellion, a conflict that had far-reaching consequences for China and the world.
