The Land of the Boxers: Or China Under the Allies, written by Gordon Casserly, is a historical account of the Boxer Rebellion that took place in China from 1899 to 1901. The book explores the causes and consequences of the rebellion, which was a violent uprising against foreign influence in China. The Boxers, a secret society, believed that foreign influence was responsible for China's decline and sought to expel all foreigners from the country. The book covers the events leading up to the rebellion, including the Opium Wars and the Treaty of Tientsin, which allowed foreigners to establish a presence in China. It also details the Boxers' attacks on foreigners and Chinese Christians, as well as the response of the international community, including the Eight-Nation Alliance. The Land of the Boxers provides a detailed account of the military campaign against the Boxers, including the siege of the legations in Beijing and the relief expedition to rescue them. It also examines the aftermath of the rebellion, including the impact on China's relationship with the West and the rise of nationalism in China. Overall, The Land of the Boxers is a comprehensive and well-researched account of a significant event in Chinese history. It provides insight into the complex political and cultural dynamics of the time and sheds light on the lasting impact of the Boxer Rebellion 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.
