520 1 $a"In 1900, the Boxer rebellion violently swept northern China. The Boxers were a secret society who sought to rid their country of the pernicious influence of the foreign powers who had gradually acquired a stranglehold on China. With the connivance of the Imperial Court, they laid siege to the legation quarter of Peking. Trapped inside were an assortment of diplomats, civilians and a small number of troops. Sir Claude MacDonald, the British Minister in Peking, had to defend them all against thousands of hostile Boxers and Imperial troops. It was a race against time. Could the rag-tag defenders hold out long enough for the gathering relief force to reach them? This book describes the desperate series of events as the multinational force rushed to their rescue."--BOOK JACKET.
