Publisher's Synopsis
The Boxer Catastrophe is a scholarly work by Chester C. Tan, published as part of the Columbia Studies in the Social Sciences series. The book explores the Boxer Rebellion, a violent anti-foreign and anti-Christian uprising that took place in China between 1899 and 1901. Tan examines the historical, social, and cultural factors that led to the rebellion, as well as its impact on China and the wider world. He also analyzes the responses of the foreign powers that intervened to put down the rebellion, including the United States, Great Britain, and Japan. Drawing on a range of primary sources and secondary literature, The Boxer Catastrophe provides a detailed and nuanced account of a pivotal moment in Chinese and global history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
