About This Book

This work provides an account of the naval operations during the Boxer Rebellion in China from June to October 1900. The author, a British naval officer, shares personal observations and anecdotes from his experiences on the ground, aiming to present an engaging narrative rather than a strictly historical analysis. The text discusses the actions of various navies involved, highlighting both their mistakes and acts of bravery. While some chapters are based on firsthand experiences, others draw from letters and narratives of eyewitnesses, offering a multifaceted view of the events and the complexities of international military engagement during this tumultuous period.
