具體描述
China's War of Resistance against Japan, as WWII is known in China, was never about the defeat of Japan alone. China was also at war with itself. Between 1937 and 1949, a vicious revolutionary war between Nationalists and Communists, divided by radically different views about China's future, ravaged the country, killing millions and laying waste to cities and the countryside. The outcomes of these wars have shaped the country and the world since.
China at War focuses on this period, examining the complex truth behind the propaganda of both East and West. Cambridge professor Hans van de Ven shows how the results of the fighting ended European imperialism in East Asia, restored China to its traditional position of regional centrality, and gave the USA a decisive role in East Asian politics. In the process, he argues, it also triggered profound changes in warfare, as important as the development of atomic weapons, and gave the countryside a new social, political and military significance.
Through fascinating personal accounts and extensive scholarship, China at War casts new light on this crucial period of history, and harnesses contemporary art, culture and ideology to illuminate world-changing events.

用戶評價
以陳剋文、齊邦媛的記錄為基礎，構建齣中層階級在戰火中的生活。全書寫的方麵偏人文，重心偏國民黨敘述，是一本科普讀物。
评分No one owns the past; no government controls its interpretation for very long; history can come back to bite; and no historian ever has the last word.While China is at war with Japan, it is also at war with itself.
评分麵對西方讀者的普及讀物。作者將一貫感興趣的戰史和個人史（材料是日記）結閤在一起，視角在學界不是特彆新穎，但是足夠生動，有人文關懷（這一點在學界現在越來越難得瞭）。作者之前研究黨史、戰史的功力也在裏麵瞭。
