"I was a little disappointed. Most of the book is an account of the Europeans and how they survived the siege. If that is what you are looking for than this is a great book (5 stars). However, it left me wanting more from the Chinese perspective. If you want that then read "Three Keys," an excellent book on the Chinese side of the Boxer Rebellion."
