Publisher's Note
The author of The Soong Dynasty gives us our most vivid and reliable biography yet of the Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi, remembered through the exaggeration and falsehood of legend as the ruthless Manchu concubine who seduced and murdered her way to the Chinese throne in 1861.

Industry Reviews
A complete reappraisal of the Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi (1835-1908), exposing earlier biographer Sir Edmund Backhouse's writings about her as a hoax and forgery, and showing that far from being all-powerful, Tzu Hsi was actually a hostage of vengeful Manchu princes who were using her in a power struggle against both Chinese reformers and foreign interference. With five maps and 16 pages of illustrations. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
