China Under the Searchlight (1901)

William Arthur Cornaby

""China Under The Searchlight"" is a book written by William Arthur Cornaby in 1901. The book is a detailed account of the author's experiences in China during the Boxer Rebellion, which was a violent anti-foreign and anti-Christian movement that took place in China from 1899 to 1901. The author, who was a missionary in China at the time, provides a firsthand account of the events that took place during the rebellion, including the siege of the Legation Quarter in Beijing, where foreign diplomats and missionaries were trapped for over 50 days. The book also provides insights into the cultural and social aspects of China during that time, including the role of religion, education, and politics in Chinese society. Overall, ""China Under The Searchlight"" is a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on a significant event in Chinese history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
