At the center of this history of China's Taiping rebellion (1845-64) stands Hong Xiuquan, a failed student of Confucian doctrine who ascends to heaven in a dream and meets his heavenly family: God, Mary, and his older brother, Jesus. He returns to earth charged to eradicate the demon-devils, the alien Manchu rulers of China. His success carries him and his followers to the heavenly capital at Nanjing, where they rule a large part of south China for more than a decade. Their decline and fall, wrought by internal division and the unrelenting military pressures of the Manchus and the Western powers, carry them to a hell on earth. Twenty million Chinese are left dead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52834265301208,"sku":"YSL55110","price":8.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/817vdjQMQwL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793258291","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b00zhjejxs","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
