He also explores the military and diplomatic responses of the foreign powers, including the intervention of an international coalition force and the negotiation of the Boxer Protocol, which imposed heavy reparations on China.The book draws on a range of primary sources, including official documents, diplomatic correspondence, and contemporary newspaper reports, to provide a comprehensive and objective analysis of the Boxer Rebellion.
