[edit] BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BOXER REBELLION
An account of the ferocious uprising of Chinese peasants and the ensuing siege of Peking in the summer of 1900 - a 55-day confrontation between the 'Boxers' (so-called for their martial-arts skills) and the Westerners they terrorized.
Fuelled by hatred of foreigners and all they stood for, the ferocious uprising of Chinese peasants and ensuing siege of Peking in the summer of 1900 sent shockwaves around the world. Diana Preston brings thundering to life this 55-day confrontation between the 'Boxers', so-called for their martial-arts skills, and the Westemers - such as the young Herbert Hoover - they terrorized. The drama of this bloody and macabre battle is captured through records of personal experiences of trapped people in Peking, of missionary women confronted by Boxer mobs, chased from village to village, then savagely murdered, as well as those more fortunate, who were able to escape.
