The Eagle-Dragon Alliance: America's Relations With China in World War II ReviewThe materials available in English on the China theatre in World War II would fill many bookshelves -- memoirs, official histories, biographies, and stories of individual operations. Many stories are now available for the first time on websites.
As good as these "parts" of the story may be, they have not yet been combined into a satisfying "whole." A comprehensive account of the U.S.-China alliance, not to mention the theatre, has not yet been written. This is largely due to the lack of sources from the Chinese side. For reasons related to China's postwar history, accounts have been few, late, or scrubbed and filtered. More recent works have not yet been translated into English. It is likely to be some decades that we can see the struggle in the theatre from all points of view.
In this void, I have found "The Eagle-Dragon Alliance" by Wesley M. Bagby to be the best all-around reference source, indispensible as one writes.
There are fatter books on those shelves, but none are as broad in scope, reliable in details, and succinct. That some of his conclusions can now be modified, thanks to the progress in historical research since the book was published in 1992, does not diminish the book's standing.
Bagby wrote, "Seldom does a historian come upon a richer mix of colorful personalities, dramatic action, Byzantine intrigue, and momentous historical issues." Seldom has one historian built such a sturdy frame for future research.
