The most intensely disputed area was the western suburb, the Badlands, but warfare was not restricted to that zone. A spate of assassinations, bombings, and machine gun raids took place under the noses of the authorities. Thanks to the release of secret Chinese police files by the CIA, the inner workings of these terrorist groups and their links to the notorious Green Gang can now be exposed for the first time. In so doing, this book also explores the social history of Shanghai's underworld, the worsening relations between the US and Japan before World War II, and the rivalry between leaders Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei during China's War of Resistance.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 154mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 396gAuthor: Frederic Wakeman, JrGenre: HistoryBook Series: Cambridge Studies in Chinese History, Literature and InstitutionsRelease Year: 2002 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
