Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Xia has done a good job of collecting primary sources and offering a persuasive analysis of a neglected topic. Her work should be deemed as a pioneering project, which enriches our comprehension of the complicated wartime situation and its impact upon postwar Chinese society. . . . This book, without a doubt, is a contribution to modern Chinese history. It could be adopted as a supplementary reading for Chinese and East Asian history courses."
