| Notes: | Subtitle: The Dramatic Story of China's War on Foreigners that Shook the World in the Summer of 1900 In 1900, China, led by a shadowy and highly militant sect called the Boxers, rose up in revolt against all manner of foreign presence and influence, forever altering China and its relationship with the outside world. In this vivid and thorough account, Preston examines the Boxer Rebellion primarily from the perspective of the Western diplomats and missionaries who narrowly escaped massacre in Peking, Tientsin and elsewhere in the summer of 1900. |
