Praise for The Boxer Rebellion
“The Boxer Rebellion: Bluejackets and Marines in China, 1900–1901 achieves its aim of effectively telling the stories of sailors and marines during a somewhat forgotten global crisis. It is a valuable contribution to our understanding of that crisis.” — Dr. David Silbey, The Journal of Military History
“Abdow has successfully pulled off the delicate task of providing a succinct volume on American involvement in the war while actually expanding the scholarship on naval and marine participation.” — Joshua Downes, H-War.
“Abdow provides readers with a well-done, yet brief, explanation of a complicated military situation at the turn of the twentieth century.” — Dr. Diana L. Ahmad, Sea History Magazine.
“Abdow has successfully referenced new sources as well as demonstrated a developing sense of authority on the topic.” — Amy Blacker, The Northern Mariner
