The Japanese invasion of Shanghai in 1937 led some thirty million Chinese to flee
their homes in terror, and live--in the words of artist and writer Feng Zikai--"in
a sea of bitterness" as refugees. R. Keith Schoppa paints a comprehensive picture
of the refugee experience in one province--Zhejiang, on the central Chinese coast--where
the Japanese launched major early offensives as well as notorious later campaigns.
He recounts stories of both heroes and villains, of choices poorly made amid war's
bewildering violence, of risks bravely taken despite an almost palpable quaking fear(from
