‎New York.: Cardinal. 1974. Maps many colour and black and white illustrations 271pp notes index little browning page edges first and last leaves large octavo a good paperback copy. This biography of Empress Dowager Tz�-his discusses her time ruling over the Celestial Empire from 1861 to 1908. As it analyses the the decline of the empire and examines the concepts and rituals of its people it lays bare the complex personality of Tz�-his. From the early part of her life at court to the Taiping and Boxer rebellions her ruling was marked by turbulence and war and coloured with a growing distaste for the foreigners' presence in China. Adversly the last few years of her life were spent in a desperate attempt to befriend foreign powers and reform China but the empire was being swept by a revolutionary tide and when she died in 1908 the Ch�ng dynasty survived her a bare three years. .
