Boxers, and its companion volume Saints, do an excellent job of showing two sides of the same conflict. I don't know much about Chinese history, but I had heard of the Boxer Rebellion and a graphic novel seemed like an entertaining way to learn more about it. It is a strange and dark era of history. A delusional leader, convinces his followers that bullets will not be able to harm them if they believe in him. He then leads them on an attack of foreigners who he believes are holding too much power in their country. Be sure to read Saints to complete the story.
