The Nationalists were soon denounced as militarily incompetent, corrupt, and antidemocratic and Chiang Kaishek, the same. In this book, van de Ven investigates the myths and truths of Nationalist resistance including issues such as: the role of the US in East Asia during the Second World War the achievements of Chiang Kaishek as Nationalist leader the respective contributions of the Nationalists and the Communists to the defeat of Japan the consequences of the Europe First strategy for Asia. War and Nationalism in China offers a major new interpretation of the Chinese Nationalists, placing their war of resistance against Japan in the context of their prolonged efforts to establish control over their own country and providing a critical reassessment of Allied Warfare in the region. This groundbreaking volume will interest students and researchers of Chinese History and Warfare. 410 0$aRoutledgeCurzon studies in the modern history of Asia ;$v10. 606 $aNationalism$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aChina$xHistory$yNorthern Expedition, 1926-1928 607 $aChina$xHistory$y1928-1937 607 $aChina$xHistory$y1937-1945 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 676 $a951.04 686 $a15.75$2bcl 700 $aVan de Ven$b Hans J$0519209 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971454203321 996 $aWar and nationalism in China$9843333 997 $aUNINA
