Synopsis

These two volumes explore the historical position of China's War of Resistance against the Japanese in WWII.

Specifically, the books explore the War of Resistance in relation to the progression of world history, and Japan's quick-battle strategy against China and their diplomatic strategies in general. It also studies how the War of Resistance pushed forward the US & Britain's strategic shift in East Asia, from passivity to activism, and argues that the war supported the successful operation of the US & Britain's global strategy.

These timely volumes, written by distinguished Chinese scholars, examine the little-known contributions and sacrifices made by China during the Second World War. Although China is widely acknowledged as an important nation in the WWII global anti-fascist alliance, historians in the United States, Britain & the former Soviet Union have previously minimised the historical position that China held. These works aims to fill the gap in the literature, focusing on China's historical status.
