5/29/2023 0 Comments Forgotten Ally by Rana Mitter![]() ![]() ![]() In 2020, Mitter’s China’s Good War: How World War II Is Shaping a New Nationalism shows how Chinese leaders once tried to suppress memories of their nation’s brutal experience during World War II, but now they celebrate the “victory”―a key foundation of China’s rising nationalism. Mitter focuses his gripping narrative on three towering leaders: Chiang Kai-shek, the politically gifted but tragically flawed head of China’s Nationalist government Mao Zedong, the Communists’ fiery ideological stalwart, seen here at the beginning of his epochal career and the lesser-known Wang Jingwei, who collaborated with the Japanese to form a puppet state in occupied China. In the past 10 years, no one in the West-or even the World-has done more to portray China’s role in World War II to a wider audience than Rana Mitter.Ģ003’s Forgotten Ally is the epic, untold story of China’s devastating eight-year war of resistance against Japan.
