Description
The Boxer Rebellion and the Great Game in China A History by David J. Silbey In 1900, the world was embroiled in a complex web of imperial rivalries, with Western powers locked in bitter conflicts across the globe. Meanwhile, in China, a seemingly spontaneous uprising was unfolding, as ordinary peasants, known as the Boxers, rose up against the perceived corruption of Western powers. The Boxer Rebellion, as it came to be known, was a pivotal moment in Chinese history, and its impact would be felt for decades to come. Drawing on the diaries and letters of allied soldiers and diplomats, historian David J. Silbey offers a vivid and nuanced portrayal of the war. By examining the military and diplomatic strategies employed by the imperial powers, Silbey sheds new light on the events of 1900, revealing the complex and often contradictory nature of the Great Game in China.
