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.
RANA MITTER is a professor of modern Chinese history at the University of Oxford and the author of several books including A Bitter Revolution. He is a regular contributor to British television and radio. His writing has appeared in the Financial Times, the Guardian, and elsewhere.
對蔣頗為同情,或許是用日記的壞處
評分HI537 對外國人來說是讓他們瞭解中國在二戰中的付齣的良作 對中國讀者而言大體是一個大概的介紹 但裏麵比較在意的有兩個點 其一是美國作為豬隊友坑蔣介石 或者說是犧牲瞭中國的利益為自己更在意的全局/歐洲/自己 其二是有一些小綫索反復齣現如戰地記者 有微觀史學之感
評分A history that has virtually gone unwritten until now.
評分對蔣頗為同情,或許是用日記的壞處
評分看的第二本英文書,額,本來自己對曆史就不太瞭解,看瞭之後發現太多的人太多的事被遺忘瞭。蔣還是一個牛逼人物啊
「我們自己不能忘記——中國人都應該讀的一部書」 這是英國學者寫給歐美讀者的為中國抗戰正名的歷史作品。由於戰後國際關係交割嬗變導致全世界遺忘了中國——反法西斯盟國之一——在戰火中的劫難與掙扎,更遺忘了中國在世界大戰中不可磨滅的貢獻。中國更因為戰爭造成的破壞而處...
評分 評分 評分虽然,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...
評分抗日战争是中华民族历史上距离我们最近的一次生存危机,也是我们所遭遇的最为深重的一场灾难。日本人在中华大地上那种肆意的烧杀淫掠,那种对国人穷凶极恶的杀戮,那种对中国必欲灭之而后快的残忍,为我们留下了最为惨痛的心灵伤痛。然而,随着好段历史的渐行渐远,对于大多数...
