It is meticulously researched and convincingly argued. His discussion of the economic, political, social, and ethical quandaries of life in wartime is masterful, and he evokes vividly the minefield of private and public morality through which intellectuals somehow had to pick their way.\"—\u003ci\u003eChina Review International\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The story of occupied China remains largely untold, particularly in Western scholarly literature. . . .

This insightful work provides us with a framework that can be used to explain the complex (and very human) moral behavior of intellectuals in these settings.\"—\u003ci\u003eJournal of Asian Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This provocative, beautifully written book should be of interest not only to China specialists but to a broad spectrum of scholars interested in questions of intellectual culture, moral choice, and the dilemmas of surviving under foreign occupation.\"—\u003ci\u003eCanadian Journal of History\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t1  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t2  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t3","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405512778071,"sku":"9780804727969","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804727969.jpg?v=1730492469","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/passivity-resistance-and-collaboration-intellectual-choices-in-occupied-shanghai-193745-intellectual-choices-in-occupied-shanghai-19371945-9780804727969","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
