Summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Second Sino-Japanese War, then pay attention....

Many people in the West look upon the Second Sino-Japanese War, which took place in the 1930s and 1940s, as a sort of sideshow to the larger Second World War, but there is no separating the two. Imagine the Pacific War, the theater of World War II that took place in the Pacific. If the Japanese were not busy fighting on another front, they would have had millions of more troops available to fight the Americans and the British. In all likelihood, World War II would have ended the same way, but it would have taken much longer and cost that many more lives.  

In The Second Sino-Japanese War: A Captivating Guide to Military Conflict That Began between China and Japan, Including Events Such as the Japanese Invasion of Manchuria and the Nanjing Massacre, you will discover topics such as:

  • The Roots of the Conflict    
  • Japan before the War    
  • Manchuria/Manchukuo    
  • China Proper    
  • Another “Incident”    
  • The Opponents    
  • The Tragedy of Nanjing    
  • They Were Expendable    
  • The War Drags On    
  • Horrors Mostly Unknown    
  • Friends    
  • And much, much more!

Awesome

Before the Sino-Japanese War China was thought of as the Middle Kingdom. Even the European powers respected it up to a point. And before the war Japan...well, Japan wasn't even a blip on the radar. After the war, China was nothing but a corpse to be sliced up and Japan had become THE Asian nation to respect.

Very Good

Paine has done an excellent job on a topic that is important yet almost arcane. Using numerous newspaper accounts as no other sources are available does not weaken the work, but strengthens it insofar as it provides perspectives from multiple observers, especially Russia, France, England and the US none of whom were strictly speaking participating in the conflict.

Disappointing

Not a bad primer, but short on a great detail. Narration is well measured but marred by a poorly affected british accent by an American narrator and his lack Of proper pronunciation of a number of subject specific words (Japanese and Chinese names, and military equipment) which undermines the performance and grates on the ear

Not terrible, but not good

Amazing

Until I got the book, I did not realize what a historic event it was in terms of not only Japan-China relations, but also of modern warfare in general and Japan and China's relations with the West. The only thing that annoyed me was the author was constantly repeating himself, and I do mean over and over again.
