China's War of Resistance began in 1937 with the Japanese invasion and ended in 1945 after eight long years. Diana Lary, one of the foremost historians of the period, tells the tragic history of China's war and its consequences from the perspective of those who went through it. Using archival evidence only recently made available, interviews with survivors, and extracts from literature, she creates a vivid and highly disturbing picture of the havoc created by the war, the destruction of towns and villages, the displacement of peoples, and the accompanying economic and social disintegration. Her focus is on families torn apart, men, women, and children left homeless and struck down by disease and famine. It is also a story of courage and survival. By 1945, the fabric of China's society had been utterly transformed, and entirely new social categories had emerged. As the author suggests in a new interpretation of modern Chinese history, far from stemming the spread of communism from the USSR, which was the Japanese pretext for invasion, the horrors of the war, and the damage it created, nurtured the Chinese Communist Party and helped it to win power in 1949. 作者簡介 黛安娜‧拉里（Diana Lary） 加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學歷史系榮退教授。她以數十年的時間投入中國近現代史研究，在此領域上有豐富的教學經歷。著有：《中國政壇上的桂系》（Region and Nation: The Kwangsi Clique in Chinese Politics, 1925-1937）、《社會史觀下的中國內戰》（China’s Civil War: A Social History, 1945-1949）、《中國共和政體史》（The China’）
