In its worst periods of warfare, the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War (1937-45), millions of civilians lost their lives. For China, the story of modern war-related death and suffering has remained hidden. The Rape of Nanking is beginning to be known, but hundreds of other massacres are still unrecognized by the outside world and even by China itself. The focus of The Scars of War is the social and psychological, not the economic, costs of war on the country. The book is illustrated with contemporary photographs and woodblock prints. Each chapter is introduced by a traditional Chinese saying (cheng-yu) on warfare. 410 0$aContemporary Chinese studies. 606 $aWar and society$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAtrocities$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aChina$xSocial conditions$y1912-1949 607 $aChina$xSocial conditions$y1949- 615 0$aWar and society$xHistory 615 0$aAtrocities$xHistory 676 $a303.48/5 701 $aLary$b Diana$0509508 701 $aMacKinnon$b Stephen R$01152605 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809814903321 996 $aThe scars of war$94023340 997 $aUNINA
