About this product
Product Information
War in the Far East is a trilogy of books comprising a general history of the Allied war against Japan; in contrast to many accounts it expands the narrative, beginning long before Pearl Harbor-showing how the war can only be understood if ancient hatreds and longstanding geopolitics are taken into account while encompassing a much wider group of actors. Harmsen reflects the realities of war at both the highest level of strategy, and the sharp end, where victories were won with blood and guts. The result is the most complete narrative yet written and the first truly international treatment of the epic conflict. In Storm Clouds Over the Pacific Peter Harmsen demonstrates how Japan and China's traditional enmity grew in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries leading to increased tensions in the 1930s and full-scale conflict in 1937. The campaigns of Shanghai and Nanjing were followed by the battle of Taierzhuang in 1938, China's only major victory. A war of attrition continued up to 1941, the year when Japan made the momentous decision for all-out war; the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor catapulted the United States into the war, while the Japanese also overran British and Dutch territories throughout the western Pacific.

It is to be hoped that this book might provide a wake up call to modern readers about the dangers of military dictators. They cannot be trusted., He shifts easily from cabinet rooms to battlefields, and gives us profiles of many persons, high and low, who played interesting roles in these events. A very good work about a very neglected subject., Storm Clouds Over the Pacific is an excellent primer about World War II in Asia prior to the involvement of the United States, . . . an excellent resource for understanding the relationship between China and Japan, past and present., Harmsen's highly compressed, readable, narrative of the cascade to conflict is highly recommended reading for contemporary world citizens., Also gratifying, "Storm Clouds Over the Pacific" tackles via a smooth, easy-to-digest narrative the generations of animosities that drove the immensely destructive war in the Pacific, costing the lives of millions of people, soldiers and civilians alike.", Peter Harmsen uses a reporter's lean prose and sharp eye for detail to expertly tell the story of Japan's war with China before Pearl Harbor. Among the highlights of this valuable book is Harmsen's ability to effortlessly place Asian political and military developments in a global setting. The result is a masterful narrative account of the traumatic decade before Japan's war in Asia merged into World War II., Harmsen has managed to craft into a single accessible narrative the complex military history of the early years of the Chinese-Japanese conflict. The great strength of the book is the equal attention given to both Japanese and Chinese sides in terms of military strategies and outcomes on the battlefield., Exceptionally well written for both academia and the non-specialist general reader with an interest in World War II history..., Beginning with the second chapter, Harmsen provides the reader with a readable and reliable narrative of this war before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor....he effortlessly shifts his focus from high politics and strategy in China and Japan to individual stories of foreign witnesses as well as ordinary Chinese and Japanese., The author studies the origins of World War II in the Pacific through the vast war fought between China and Japan. It is a balanced book providing the perspectives of both sides and explains the motives and goals of each. The narrative is clear and engaging, and the level of detail is impressive.
