Description

This book marks a total departure from previous studies of the Boxer War.

It evaluates the way the war was perceived and portrayed at the time by the mass media.

As such the book offers insights to a wider audience than that of sinologists or Chinese historians.

The important distinction made by the author is between image makers and eyewitnesses.

Whole categories of powerful image makers, both Chinese and foreign, never saw anything of the Boxer War but were responsible for disseminating images of that war to millions of people in China and throughout the world.
