A momentous new history of Asia's Second World War.
"Essential reading for understanding Asia's present." --Richard Overy, author of Blood and Ruins
Drawing on deep archival research across continents, historian Hans van de Ven tells the dramatic story of how Asia's people mobilized to defeat both Japanese aggression and European imperialism, forging modern Asia in the process.
By the early twentieth century, from India to China, Western imperial powers dominated Asia. Then, in the 1930s, Japan began to tear down this old order in pursuit of its own imperial ambitions--first by invading China, and then by launching its assault against British, Dutch, and American outposts across Asia and the Pacific in December 1941.
As Japanese forces seized vast swaths of territory and pressed toward India, the brutal fighting cost millions of lives across the continent. Simultaneously, the war's chaos and suffering supercharged anti-colonial movements from British India to Dutch Indonesia. Ultimately, it was the charismatic leaders of these movements--Mao, Nehru, Sukarno--who built the new Asia of independent nation-states that emerged in the war's bloody wake.
Blood Dawn is a powerful new perspective, revealing how Asia's Second World War was absolutely central in creating the postwar order.
