Take a journey into the world of China's most feared Empress. This

the final years of her reign. Enhanced with rich imagery and
additional historical notes, "Two Years in the Forbidden City" is a
vivid trip into the grandeur and intrigue of China's last dynasty.
* Featuring a new introduction, author biography and afterword by
author/editor Noel Fletcher which provides context for this book in
modern Chinese history. * Includes interesting historical details
and photos about China's infamous Dowager Empress Tzu-hsi (Cixi),
the Boxer Rebellion, the Imperial Court, and other people featured
in the narrative. * Illustrated with 100+ historical photographs,
illustrations, and paintings from the late 1800s to early 1900s.
