description: 1921. Being the notes of an eyewitness, which set forth in some detail, from day to day, the real story of the siege and sack of a distressed capital in 1900-the year of great tribulation. An informative narrative in the form of letters, B. L. Putnam Weale's (pseudonym for Bertram Lenox Simpson) work is considered by many to give the most faithful account of the Siege of the Legations, as seen by an independent witness.
