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.

評分錶麵寫抗戰,實際是追尋現代中國的“創世”,最大程度做到對不同的人、對不同國傢、不同政權瞭解之同情,可能因為作者印度血統的原因,對蔣訪印寫得很傳情

「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...

評分以其规模之大影响之深发生时间之近,中国战场二战史本最不应被遗忘,但是因为牵涉各当权势力的历史基础和合法性,东亚各种官方解读“罗生门”到极致;因为参与者自身不能严肃对待,加上东西方文化差异,作为旁观者的欧美苏也有意无意地忽视这段历史。或许只有作者印度裔剑桥教...
