Description
China's War with Japan, 1937-1945: The Struggle for Survival by Rana Mitter The Second World War is often dated from September 1939, but one event in particular - the 'Marco Polo Bridge Incident' of July 1937 - marks a turning point in the conflict between China and Japan. This war would go on to claim millions of lives and reshape East Asia forever. Rana Mitter's book draws on new sources to recreate this devastating conflict, exploring both the major leaders involved and the ordinary people caught up in its fury. By focusing on Japan's failure to defeat China, Mitter sheds light on a crucial dynamic that shaped the course of the war in Asia. Through his vivid narrative, Mitter brings to life one of the most pivotal periods in modern history, offering a fresh perspective on a conflict that continues to have far-reaching consequences today.
