Diary Of The Siege Of The Peking Legations: June To August, 1900 is a historical account written by William Meyrick Hewlett that chronicles the events that took place during the siege of the Peking Legations in China during the summer of 1900. The book is a personal diary that provides a firsthand account of the experiences of the author and other foreigners who were trapped inside the Legations during the Boxer Rebellion.The diary entries describe the daily life of the foreigners as they struggled to survive under the constant threat of attack from the Boxers and the Chinese Imperial Army. The author details the efforts made by the foreigners to defend themselves, including the construction of barricades and the fortification of their buildings.Hewlett also provides insights into the political and social climate of China at the time, as well as the attitudes and beliefs of the Boxers and the Chinese Imperial Army.
