I hope this won't get me a yellow card I know this is cutting it close to the six month mark.
A book I just finished reading and recommend "The Battle for China" it is a collection of essays on the Sino-japanese War. It is probably the best on the subject I strongly recommend it and will put up excerpts in the future.
The Battle for China: Essays on the Military History of the Sino-Japanese War of 1937-1945 - Edited by Mark Peattie, Edward Drea, and Hans van de Ven

Same reason early mainland communist documentary about Sino Japanese war hardly mentions the KMT, did you expect fair and balanced reporting from all everyone? Truth is always the first casualty in war anyway.

in Yenan 1945, it was reported that the Surrender of Japan was on board a Soviet Ship.
maybe Yenan radio also reported that Mao Zedong sent General Zhu De as the Chinese representative to accept the Japanese surrender.

the world have forgotten that during the final stages of the war ( late 1944 onwards ), Japan made many generous peace feelers with increasing frequency toward the Nanking government. Generalissimo Chiang could have made peace with the Japanese and spared his people from the pain, suffering, terrific economic dislocation and the war. Chiang chose to stuck by his allies. 1.5 million Japanese troops remained bogged down in China and can't be released to fight against the American in the Pacific.
Roosevelt and Churchill colluded with Stalin to sell out China's interest in Manchuria at Yalta Conference.
"i am embarrassed as an American. this is how we treated an ally ( China ) who stuck by us during the most difficult of time. Chiang should be told of the Yalta agreement when it was agreed, not four months later. that's the moral right thing to do" ( General Albert Coady Wedemeyer ).
