Description
Shanghai 1937 Stalingrad on the Yangtze is a deeply researched account of one of the 20th century's most pivotal battles. At its height, the conflict involved nearly a million soldiers from China and Japan, with three million civilians caught in the crossfire. This battle marked a turning point in the war in China, escalating it into a general conflict between two of the region's oldest and most proud civilizations. The struggle for Shanghai was a defining moment in modern history, foreshadowing the global conflict that would soon engulf the world. The battle showcased the devastating impact of new technologies on warfare, including amphibious landings, tank assaults, aerial dogfights, and urban combat. This was a dress rehearsal for World War II, with a diverse cast of characters from around the world, including Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and General Matsui Iwane, playing out their roles in the three-month conflict. This book provides a detailed and insightful look at this pivotal event, shedding light on the events that led to the outbreak of war and the devastating consequences that followed.
