Winner of the 2012 Society for Military History Distinguished Book Award (non-US).Most studies of the Sino-Japanese War are presented from the perspective of the West. Departing from this tradition, 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 volume's diverse contributors have taken pains to sustain a scholarly, dispassionate tone throughout their analyses of the course and the nature of military operations, from the Marco Polo Bridge Incident to the final campaigns of 1945. They present Western involvement in Sino-Japanese contexts, and establish the war's place in World War II and world history in general. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

For the average reader of history this will be a serious jag to their expectations. If they are aware of China's war with Japan at all, they will have probably learned about it through the prism of Barbara Tuchman's biography of "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell, and have picked up the dismissive opinion of the Nationalist war effort. This book is anything but dismissive of that effort, but the participants are collectively critical of Tokyo's rudimentary sense of strategy. I read this as an inter-library loan but I'm feeling like I actually have to own a copy. ( )
