Reissued by Leonaur Ltd in 2010, this edition runs to approximately 328 pages. The book presents a remarkable series of letters written during the siege of the foreign legations in Peking at the height of the Boxer Uprising of 1900. With immediacy and detail, these letters record daily life under threat, the strain of uncertainty, and the dramatic events leading to the sack of the city. Both vivid and deeply personal, they provide an invaluable eyewitness perspective on one of the most turbulent episodes in modern Chinese history.
