Opis

The Boxer Rebellion of 1900 in China was an attempt by peasants to destroy their Western Christian oppressors. In Peking, 900 western diplomats, soldiers and missionaries were besieged in the diplomatic compound. The missionaries involved have been mostly neglected by historians, but his book concentrates on one of them, Willian Scott Ament.
