I found it an illuminating story of something I knew vertically nothing about. I think Stephen Robinson makes an excellent job of the details. He is an excellent stylist and has an excellent mixture of the close up and the overview. Stephen Robinson makes a very thorough job of tracing events right up into 2017 and the political and emotional repercussions going on even then. This book deals for the siege which takes up about the first half of the book, but with the many, many repercussions. -- David Hill * Prime Minister's Award for Literary Achievement recipient (2021). * This gripping account by historian, Stephen Robinson, tells of China's legendary last stand against the Japanese in Shanghai in 1937. A must-read for every Australian who ever wondered about the forces that helped shape the most powerful nation in our region. * The Listening Post (RSL WA) Magazine *
