Note... by Sterling Seagrave with the collaboration of Peggy Seagrave.
The author of The Soong Dynasty gives us our most vivid and reliable biography yet of the Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi, remembered through the exaggeration and falsehood of legend as the ruthless Manchu concubine who seduced and murdered her way to the Chinese throne in 1861.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [563]-576) and index.
