The epic, untold story of China’s devastating eight-year war of resistance against Japan
For decades, a major piece of World War II history has gone virtually unwritten. The war began in China, two years before Hitler invaded Poland, and China eventually became 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.
Rana Mitter focuses his gripping narrative on three towering leaders: Chiang Kai-shek, the politically gifted but tragically flawed head of China’s Nationalist government; Mao Zedong, the Communists’ fiery ideological stalwart, seen here at the beginning of his epochal career; and the lesser-known Wang Jingwei, who collaborated with the Japanese to form a puppet state in occupied China. Drawing on Chinese archives that have only been unsealed in the past ten years, he brings to vivid new life such characters as Chiang’s American chief of staff, the unforgettable “Vinegar Joe” Stilwell, and such horrific events as the Rape of Nanking and the bombing of China’s wartime capital, Chongqing. Throughout, Forgotten Ally shows how the Chinese people played an essential role in the wider war effort, at great political and personal sacrifice.
Forgotten Ally rewrites the entire history of World War II. Yet it also offers surprising insights into contemporary China. No twentieth-century event was as crucial in shaping China’s worldview, and no one can understand China, and its relationship with America today, without this definitive work.

读后感
虽然，这本书读着不解气，但却能让人清醒。其实，读完后我本是想要推荐给我的小侄女的——按严格的辈分来说，我是应该亲亲热热的叫她一声“外甥女”，可惜总感觉三个字的不如两个字的顺口，当然，如果按照我和姐夫的这边七大姑八大姨的关系而论，叫一声“侄女”也算不上什么了...

对蒋颇为同情，或许是用日记的坏处
评分表面写抗战，实际是追寻现代中国的“创世”，最大程度做到对不同的人、对不同国家、不同政权了解之同情，可能因为作者印度血统的原因，对蒋访印写得很传情
