Summary

In July 1937， the Marco Polo Bridge Incident sparked a bloody conflict between Chinese and Japanese forces that would rage across China and beyond for more than eight years。

The two sides' forces brought very different strengths and limitations to the conflict。 In 1937 China was divided into factions， each controlled by warlords with independent forces， and there was no unified Chinese army。 In order to fight the Japanese Chiang Kai-shek， the nominal leader of Nationalist China， was compelled to do deals with these regional powers。 For their part， the Japanese employed ground forces broadly comparable to those fielded by Western powers， including modern artillery and tanks。 Featuring specially commissioned artwork and drawing upon an array of sources， this study investigates the origins， training， doctrine， and armament of the Chinese and Japanese forces who fought in the opening stages of the Second Sino-Japanese War。

Erik ，

A fantastic overview of the early war chinese and japanese forces。 We learn pitifully little about China's massively important role in WWII in the west so this was very refreshing and very enlightening to read。 It was filled with great information， I had never heard that the Japanese used limited gas attacks on Chinese forces。 This was covered up so well it's still little known today。 I found myself daunted at times by the complex battle orders and detailed lists of units and commanders， but the A fantastic overview of the early war chinese and japanese forces。 We learn pitifully little about China's massively important role in WWII in the west so this was very refreshing and very enlightening to read。 It was filled with great information， I had never heard that the Japanese used limited gas attacks on Chinese forces。 This was covered up so well it's still little known today。 I found myself daunted at times by the complex battle orders and detailed lists of units and commanders， but these books are usually written for hardcore military buffs who demand and thrive off of that detail。 The artwork is also fantastic！ 。。。more
