Summary |
" ... The battle for China brings together Chinese, Japanese, and Western scholars ... to provide a comprehensive and multifaceted overview of the military operations that shaped much of what happened in political, economic, and cultural realms ... [The authors of this volume cover military operations] ranging from the Marco Polo Bridge Incident of 1937 to the final campaigns of 1945. They present Western involvement in the war, but in Sino-Japanese contexts, and establish the war's place in World War II and world history in general"--Page 4 of cover. |
