Features: This book comprehensively reflects the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The War of Resistance was a nationwide anti-invasion war, and this book strives to reflect the contributions of all ethnic groups, classes, and political parties to the war, especially the important roles played by the two battlefields in resisting the enemy. Among the Allied Powers fighting against the Axis powers in World War II, China was one of the earliest countries to engage in a full-scale war with Japan. In this global conflict, China suffered the most casualties, received the least aid, yet made the greatest contribution to the Allied victory. China's heroic performance in the war was one of the main reasons for the Allied Powers' ultimate success. This book adopts a comprehensive perspective to grasp the complex causes and consequences of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. From the comparison of the overall national strength of China and Japan, the narration and review of major battles, the analysis of strategy and political strategy, the China Theater and the Stilwell Affair, the sharp turn in the Cairo Conference, the ruthless actions of Britain and the Soviet Union against China, and more—all are expressed with clear writing. The book provides in-depth explanations for the decisions and outcomes of the war at the time, as well as the reasons behind the successes and failures of military operations.
