Beskrivning
Throughout its modern history China has suffered from immensedestruction and loss of life from warfare. In its worst periods ofwarfare, the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War (1937-45), millionsof civilians lost their lives. For China, the story of modernwar-related death and suffering has remained hidden. The Rape ofNanking is beginning to be known, but hundreds of other massacres arestill unrecognized by the outside world and even by China itself. Thefocus of The Scars of War is the social and psychological, not theeconomic, costs of war on the country. The book is illustrated withcontemporary photographs and woodblock prints. Each chapter isintroduced by a traditional Chinese saying (cheng-yu) on warfare.
