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
評分重KMT而輕CCP
評分作者用飽含深情的筆墨記述瞭偉大的八年抗戰史,雖然並沒有什麼新的史料(除瞭作者單獨挑選瞭弗拉基米洛夫來攻擊延安的整風運動和“集權”統治,證明國共兩黨在抗戰中半斤八兩)和新觀點(作者幫常校長說瞭太多的好話和托辭,不惜把史迪威也拉齣來批判瞭一番),但通過一個外國人的視角來迴顧這段曆史,尤其是在講到南京大屠殺,決堤花園口,1942以及1944大潰敗等處時,心情更加沉重,更能體會我們這個多災多難的民族浴火重生的不易。前事不忘,後事之師,站在如今這個曆史新的十字路口處,我們一定要迸發齣更為團結的民族精神和毅力,與國傢共進退,纔能不再重蹈曆史的覆轍!

《中国,被遗忘的盟友》 ——拉纳·米特 文/onlineforever 从一个非中国人的角度写这本书,其实观点早已经是贻笑大方了,但内容却是对不了解那一段历史和经历的人来说,颇为新鲜。自己从来不曾了解过那一段尘封的记忆,就以为那是一个毫无根基的孤岛,殊不知这个暗礁下是惊...
評分作为一本综述类著作,本书其实对于各种细节的照顾还是很到位的。篇幅所限,很多方面没有展开。 p40 蒋介石会见了托洛茨基等布尔什维克的显要人物,但对苏共印象不佳。 p50 日本的民族主义汲取了禅宗和日莲宗的教义以及德国“鲜血与祖国”的思想,其非理性和浪漫主义与“泛亚主...
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...
