The Boxer Rebellion emerges as a powerful response from Chinese peasants against foreign influence and imperialism, characterized by a unique blend of mysticism and materialism. Initially dismissed by foreigners, the movement gained momentum and support from the empress dowager, leading to a significant uprising that shocked the world. This well-researched account by an Oxford-trained historian offers an insightful exploration of this pivotal historical event, making it a valuable addition to any history collection.
