Product Description
Review
Timothy Brook has produced a superb book about the vexed problem of collaboration...Of all the studies of collaboration--or those that touch on it--in East Asian studies, Brook's provides us with the most interesting perspective. One of the book's great strengths is the clear and methodical way in which it proceeds through its historical investigation. Brook hews closely to his principal sources and texts, which he both utilizes and interrogates. He cross-examines Chinese and Japanese, collaborative and denunciatory, occupier and resistor texts, often with regard to the same phenomenon, if not the same event or person. Yet Brook is sufficiently a stylist that this procedure rarely lapses into a dry, judicial mode of inquiry. At the same time, the conclusions he draws feel remarkably faithful to his methodology. -- Prasenjit Duara "The China Journal"
Product Description
Studies of collaboration have changed how the history of World War II in Europe is written, but for China and Japan this aspect of wartime conduct has remained largely unacknowledged. This work talks about the sensitive topic of wartime collaboration between the Chinese and their Japanese occupiers.
