Features: Genuine history requires the support of human spiritual qualities. The author, with courage and insight, delves into the natural, profound, sharp, and towering honesty of the raw state of the Far East War—its turmoil, tragedy, and hidden depths. With natural force, insight, and structural power, he reaches the bloody storm of anti-humanity and anti-humanity from June 1927 to September 1945; the earth-shaking rhythms and unrestrained essence, original color, and original meaning of the anti-Japanese struggles in China, the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, North Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia, Australia, Myanmar, Indonesia, India, Thailand, and Vietnam; the crimson history of the rise, development, and demise of Japanese militarism; and the various forms of irrecoverable disasters, sorrows, desolation, and truth. After ten years of labor and reflection, the author sifts through the vast and accumulated historical records, refining them into this work. It rejects all preconceptions of nations, ethnicities, parties, religions, races, and cultures, clinging only to the ultimate truth and compassion. Readers will gain a comprehensive view of how the high commanders of all parties in the Far East War planned and won victories, how the officers and soldiers at all levels suffered heavy casualties in the field, and how the bones covered the vast wilderness. They will also gain insight into how national leaders were swept up by the tides of war, who supported and supplied the war groups that claimed supremacy in the Far East, and why millions of ordinary people were unjustly killed, tortured, and slaughtered. Over one hundred historical figures are vividly portrayed with strong realism, including Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Chiang Kai-shek, and others who were both wise and brave, as well as heroes like Peng Dehuai and Zhu De. The work vividly depicts the soldiers of the Chinese Communist Party and the Kuomintang, such as Peng Dehuai and Zuo Quan. It also analyzes the Japanese, from the emperor Hirohito to the common people, with ease and precision. The entire work blends history and literature, with an epic grandeur, depth, and unrestrained power. It presents the Far East War in a way never seen before, giving history the quality and significance of fossils and bas-reliefs. Reading it is both exhilarating and deeply moving.
