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"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000706090 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000706090 650_0 $$aSino-Japanese War, 1937-1945. 000706090 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$zChina. 000706090 651_0 $$aChina$$xHistory$$y1937-1945. 000706090 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMitter, Rana, 1969-$$tForgotten ally.$$bFirst U.S. Edition.$$dBoston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, [2013]$$z9780618894253$$w(DLC) 2013026746$$w(OCoLC)666239975 000706090 8520_ $$bacq 000706090 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000706090 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3305405$$zOnline Access 000706090 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:706090$$pGLOBAL_SET 000706090 980__ $$aEBOOK 000706090 980__ $$aBIB 000706090 982__ $$aEbook 000706090 983__ $$aOnline
