"A handful of men and women held out against the frenzied hordes of bloodthirsty fanatics!"
Beijing, 1900. The British are in power, much to the dismay of the Empress and her guard, the Boxers. They have been in revolt for two years and during a hot summer it becomes clear that a bloody resistance from the occupiers is inevitable. Empress Tsu Hsi controls the fate of all foreign delegations, but only makes a decision when the German ambassador is murdered by the fanatical Boxers. Major Lewis and all other delegations begin a long and exhausting battle against the rebels and the Imperial forces.
