A forceful look at the long-term social and psychological impact of
warfare on modern China’s civilian population.
Description
Throughout its modern history, China has suffered from immense
destruction and loss of life from warfare. During its worst period
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. Hundreds of
massacres are still unrecognized by the outside world and even by China
itself. The focus of this original hisotry is on the social and
psychological, not the economic, costs of war on the country.
