*The China Journal*
[T]his very useful and enlightening volume, which, helpfully
focused by the methodological reflections in its introduction and
conclusion, enables a greater insight and understanding of the
complex social diversity at work in the revolutionary process. It
was not without difficulties and setbacks that this process finally

memoirs, and works by Chinese historians on the Sino-Japanese war
period have been published that tend to obscure them, or even
conceal them completely.
