Features: With a masterful pen and the momentum of a cascading waterfall, the author describes the entire journey of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's entry into Burma during the 1940s to fight against Japanese aggression, from failure to ultimate victory. It reveals the intricate political and diplomatic struggles among the United States, China, Britain, and Japan surrounding the Battle of Yunnan-Burma. The book successfully portrays numerous historical figures such as Stilwell, Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Mei-ling, Sun Liren, and Du Yuming, exposing many historical secrets, including the U.S. plan to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek. The depiction of Japanese military comfort women is particularly shocking. The work is rich in historical materials, grand in scope, powerful in writing, and gripping in plot.
