One of the most popular and controversial Chinese history books
ever written, China under the Empress Dowager is also one of the
best. Authors Bland and Backhouse take you inside the Forbidden
City during the reign of Empress Dowager Cixi (1861-1908), a world
of power-thirsty eunuchs, concubines and Mandarins, intrigue,
bitter antagonism and ruthless reprisals. The book was unique for
its time in its reliance on Chinese source materials, some of which
may have been fabricated. As entertaining as it is enlightening,
the book that presaged the fall of the Qing dynasty is as readable
today as it ever was.
