Sobre este artículo

London England: Leo Cooper, 1991. Hardback. First Edition. The Fists of Righteous History. Boxer Rebellion. This is the first illustrated history of the Boxer Rebellion ever published. It explains, in so far as it is possible to explain, the story of that puzzling affair which captured the world's headlines in the summer of 1900. The Boxers, a nickname derived from their more flowery official title, The Fists of Righteous Harmony, were a fanatical secret organization who have been incited by anti-foreign elements in the Chinese Government to commit a wide-scale depredations against foreign missionaries and their Chinese converts, the Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi stoutly maintaining all the while that the Boxers were beyond her control. Matters came to a climax with the siege of the Peking Legistations which lasted fifty-five days, while the isolated Peit'ang Cathedral, defended by a mere handful of sailors, had to hold out for even longer. The motley force assembled for the relief of Peking was composed of troops from Russia, America, France, Japan and Britain, the last named contingent actually having a Chinese regiment under command. The whole episode, which ended in total humiliation for the Chinese, was as bizarre a mixture of farce and tragedy as can be found anywhere in the pages of history and the author's wry wit and shrewd analysis do full justice to this exotic theme. Illustrated. 276 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback.
