Fifty-Five Days Of Terror: The Story Of The Boxer Rebellion (1971) By Burt Hirschfeld
 
Describes the Boxer Rebellion of 1900, an attempt by some of the Chinese people to rid their country of the foreign legations in Peking.
 
This absorbing account of the Boxer Rebellion tells the full story of imperialism in China where ruling dynasties, through cruelty, corruption and superstition, kept the peasants in poverty while they lived in splendor. The explosive rebellion which wrote history in blood and suffering for fifty-five days, is a gripping story of both the hypocrisy and the humanity exhibited by nations joined together in common purpose.
