As invading Japanese troops are poised to capture one of the world's greatest cities, the Chinese Army begins to retreat - except for one battalion that conducts an epic last stand inside Sihang Warehouse. The bravery of these soldiers gave rise to the legend of the 'Eight Hundred Heroes', an enduring myth that echoes the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae and the Alamo in Texas. This book is a comprehensive account of the battalion's last stand but it also explains how memory of the even became a symbol that helped define modern China."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 951.13204 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult New Books 951.13204 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList
