The Story of the Siege in Peking is a historical account of the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900, written by Samuel Marcus Russell. The book details the events that led to the siege of the foreign legations in Peking (now Beijing) by the Boxer rebels and the subsequent international relief expedition to rescue the besieged foreigners. Russell provides a comprehensive overview of the political and social climate in China at the time, including the Boxer movement and its anti-foreign sentiment, which ultimately led to the siege. He also provides a detailed account of the siege itself, including the daily struggles and challenges faced by the foreigners, as well as the diplomatic negotiations between the besieged legations and the Chinese government. The book also covers the international response to the siege, including the formation of the Eight-Nation Alliance and their military expedition to Peking to lift the siege. Russell describes the battles and skirmishes that took place during the relief effort and the eventual success of the mission in rescuing the besieged foreigners. Overall, The Story of the Siege in Peking is a thorough and engaging historical account of a pivotal moment in China's history and its relationship with the rest of 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.
