“55 Days at Peking” is the title of a 1963 Hollywood movie and is based upon a real historical event - the siege of the foreign diplomatic quarter in Peking (now Beijing) during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900.
The film starring Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner and David Niven is a swash buckling period piece, but what are the real historical events and how close does the film come to them?

My name is Chris Green and I love to share stories from British history. Not just because they are interesting but because, good or bad, they have shaped the world we live in today.
History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.
My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you. Jean in Maryland, USA recently wrote: "Chris, is the history teacher I wish I had at school!"
Just for the record, I do have a history degree in Medieval & Modern history from the University of Birmingham.
