description: Tsu Hsi, last Empress of China, was an iron-willed concubine who ruled the Dragon Throne for half a century, through the cataclysms of the Opium Wars and the Boxer Rebellion until the collapse of the 2000-year-old Empire. Sterling Seagrave cuts through many historical inaccuracies to show the fall of the empire as it really happened and tells the inside story of Tsu Hsi and her court. Sterling Seagrave is the author of "The Soong Dynasty" and "The Marcos Dynasty".
