		The Taiping Rebellion of 1850-1864 was a millenarian war in the literal sense of the term.
		He was to establish the “Kingdom of Heaven,” which had been translated by the term “Taiping.” (Literally, the “Heavenly Kingdom” is “tianguo,” a term Hong also used and which eventually eclipsed Taiping as the term for his regime.) He was to do as Jesus had done: preach and teach, and drive out demons.
		Also, the organization of the Taiping fighting forces, in contrast to those of the Communists, was based on armies described in the Chinese classics, as was the ministerial system of the government the Taiping later formed.

		God's Chinese Son is not a history of the Taiping rebellion, and the author disclaims any desire to do what others have done (although it's fair to say we have no history of the rebellion that combines both the readability and historical accuracy Spence brings to his task).
		Hong and his Taipings have always had a special fascination for Westerners, in large part because of the Protestant influence on the rebellion and its leaders, and some have even suggested that, if the Taipings had triumphed, China would have been Christianized.
		For the next eleven years the Taipings sought to establish the heavenly kingdom in Nanjing, and to extend their sway over the lower Yangtze Valley.

		The new order was to reconstitute a legendary ancient state in which the peasantry owned and tilled the land in common; slavery, concubinage, arranged marriage, opium smoking, footbinding, judicial torture, and the worship of idols were all to be eliminated.
		The Taiping tolerance of the esoteric rituals and quasi-religious societies of south China--themselves a threat to Qing stability--and their relentless attacks on Confucianism--still widely accepted as the moral foundation of Chinese behavior--contributed to the ultimate defeat of the rebellion.
		Chinese society was still reeling from the ravages of the Taiping and other rebellions, and foreign encroachments continued to threaten the integrity of China.

		Spence provides a very detailed account of the Taiping Rebellion, stretching from the origins of the leadership to the end result for the Heavenly Kingdom.
		In Spence's introduction, he states that he was trying to produce a different sort of account of the Taiping Heavenly Rebellion, since it's been written on so extensively (ostensibly in China or Western academic journals).
		The Taiping Heavenly Rebellion was an astonishing historical event, and one of the most costly wars ever.

		This is the strange, compelling tale of the mid-19th century Taiping Rebellion, a political-religious upheaval led by a Chinese visionary who believed himself commissioned by Christ to wage war on the demons of the Manchu dynasty.

		Yet there are major gaps in the story too: the perspective of the Qing dynasty and how it was able to turn back the Taiping threat, the successes and failures of the Taiping social and economic program, and the rebellion's impact on culture and politics in China are all nearly completely absent from the story.
		Ultimately the lack of attention to these issues left me dissatisfied with the book, even if Spence warns the reader from the beginning that he is not writing comprehensively.
		Spence's decision to forego analysis and evaluation in favor of straightforward narrative was also disappointing since the Taiping rebellion offers such fertile ground for interpretive work.
