Shanghai 1937 Stalingrad On The Yangtze Peter Harmsen by Peter Harmsen 1612001685 instant download after payment.

At its height, the Battle of Shanghai involved
nearly a million Chinese and Japanese soldiers while sucking in three
million civilians as unwilling spectators—and often victims. It turned
what had been a Japanese imperialist adventure in China into a general
war between the two oldest and proudest civilizations of the Far East.
Ultimately, it led to Pearl Harbor and to seven decades of tumultuous
history in Asia. The Battle of Shanghai was a pivotal event that helped
define and shape the modern world.

In its sheer scale, the
struggle for China’s largest city was a sinister forewarning of what was
in store only a few years later in theaters around the world. It
demonstrated how technology had given rise to new forms of warfare and
had made old forms even more lethal. Amphibious landings, tank assaults,
aerial dogfights, and—most important—urban combat all happened in
Shanghai in 1937. It was a dress rehearsal for World War II—or, perhaps
more correctly, it was the inaugural act in the war, the first major
battle in the global conflict.

Actors from a variety of nations
were present in Shanghai during the three fateful autumn months when the
battle raged. The rich cast included China’s ascetic Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek and his Japanese adversary, General Matsui Iwane, who
wanted Asia to rise from disunity, but ultimately pushed the continent
toward its deadliest conflict ever.
