Description
Shanghai 1937 Stalingrad on the Yangtze is a deeply researched study of one of the great forgotten battles of the 20th century. At its height, it involved nearly a million soldiers from China and Japan, with three million civilians caught in the conflict. This pivotal event helped shape the modern world and had far-reaching consequences, including the attack on Pearl Harbor and seven decades of tumultuous history in Asia. The battle was a turning point in the Sino-Japanese War, drawing in actors from a variety of nations, including China's Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and his Japanese adversary, General Matsui Iwane. Other notable figures, such as Claire Chennault and Eleanor Roosevelt, played important roles during the campaign. The book sheds light on the complex web of alliances and rivalries that led to this pivotal event. This book provides a unique perspective on the Battle of Shanghai, a battle that has been largely overlooked in the historiography of World War II. With its rich cast of characters and detailed account of the conflict, it is an engrossing study that will appeal to historians and anyone interested in the history of Asia during this period.
