Sino Japanese war,
This review is from: The Sino-Japanese War, 1937-41;: From Marco Polo Bridge to Pearl Harbor (Hardcover)
This is generally an excellent account of the japanese and Chinese Nationalist military operations in China from 1937 until Pearl Harbor. It far exceeds any other English language account of the Sino Japanses war for this period. The battle descriptions are usually detailed, suprisingly clear and far more interesting than those in the droll and convoluted Japanese monogrpaphs and Nationalist official histories that serve as the major sources. Dorn does well in reconciling conflicts and discrepancies between the sources.Several decades old the book is rather dated. It is unfortunate Dorn did not write s sequel covering the war from 1942-1945, while updating this work with a new edition. The account becomes sketchy in those few areas, where I suspect Dorn lacked reliable primary source material, but for the most part his book is enlightening.
