内容简介

In June 1900， Boxer rebels attacked the foreign community in China s capital， forcing all non-Chinese along with hundreds of Chinese Christians， to take refuge in the foreign legation quarter. In this first-hand account， American doctor Robert Coltman takes us inside the besieged legations， describing the diplomatic missteps， daring sorties， broken friendships and international camaraderie under fire.
