Beleaguered In Peking: The Boxers War Against The Foreigner by Robert Coltman is a historical account of the Boxer Rebellion, a violent anti-foreigner movement that took place in China at the turn of the 20th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the conflict, which saw Chinese nationalists and religious groups unite to attack foreign diplomatic missions and Christian missionaries in Beijing. Through extensive research and first-hand accounts, Coltman offers a vivid portrayal of the siege of the foreign legations in Peking (now Beijing) and the subsequent international military intervention that followed. He explores the motivations and beliefs of the Boxers, as well as the political and economic factors that contributed to the unrest in China at the time. The book also delves into the complex relationships between the various foreign powers involved in the conflict, including Britain, the United States, Japan, and Russia. Coltman examines the diplomatic negotiations and military strategies employed by each country, as well as the impact of the Boxer Rebellion on China's relationship with the rest of the world. Overall, Beleaguered In Peking provides a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most significant events in Chinese history, shedding light on the social, political, and cultural factors that led to the Boxer Rebellion and its lasting impact on China and the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
