Beschreibung:
Rana Mitter is the author of several books, including A Bitter Revolution: Chinäs Struggle with the Modern World and Forgotten Ally: Chinäs World War II, 1937¿1945, named a Book of the Year in The Economist and Financial Times. He has commented on Asia for the BBC, NPR, CNN, the New York Times, the History Channel, and the World Economic Forum at Davos. S.T. Lee Professor of US-Asia Relations at Harvard Kennedy School, he is also a Fellow of the British Academy and an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.
Once sidelined from public memory, World War II is now a historical touchstone in China. Rana Mitter links reassessment of the war to Chinäs rising nationalism. At home, Chinese use the war to shape conflicted identities; abroad the war with Japan is now treated as a Chinese victory, a founding myth for a people destined to shape the global order.
