An extraordinary book. It is breathtaking, bold in concept, innovative in methodology, provocative at times, and eminently readable.--Edmund S. K. Fung "Asian Studies Review "

Cohen offers excellent insight into the idiosyncratics of the Boxer movement, including its ideas, origins, rituals, and development.... Highly recommended.--Library Journal
