The Battle for China: Essays on the Military History of the Sino-Japanese War of 1937-1945

摘要

Chinese military casualties may have been as high as 10 million, with at least as many, if not double, civilian deaths. The war had tragic consequences for both countries and left an indelible mark on the shape of postwar Asia.
