China was the fourth great ally, partner to the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain, yet its drama of invasion, resistance, slaughter, and political intrigue remains little known in the West. In this emotionally gripping book, made possible through access to newly unsealed Chinese archives, Rana Mitter unfurls the story of China's World War II as never before and rewrites the larger history of the war in the process. He focuses his narrative on three towering leaders -- Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, and the lesser-known collaborator Wang Jingwei -- and extends the timeline of the war back to 1937, when Japanese and Chinese troops began to clash, fully two years before Hitler invaded Poland. Unparalleled in its research and scope, Forgotten Ally is a sweeping, character-driven history that will be essential reading not only for anyone with an interest in World War II, but also for those seeking to understand today's China, where, as Mitter reveals, the echoes of the war still reverberate"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 951.042 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.042 Mitter Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.042 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.042 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
