An Economist Book of the YearA Financial Times Book of the Year "A book that has long cried out to be written." -- Observer (UK), Books of the Year In 1937, two years before Hitler invaded Poland, Chinese troops clashed with Japanese occupiers in the first battle of World War II. Joining with the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain, China became the fourth great ally in a devastating struggle for its very survival. Prizewinning historian Rana Mitter unfurls China's drama of invasion, resistance, slaughter, and political intrigue as never before. Based on groundbreaking research, this gripping narrative focuses on a handful of unforgettable characters, including Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, and Chiang's American chief of staff, "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell. Mitter also recounts the sacrifice and resilience of everyday Chinese people through the horrors of bombings, famines, and the infamous Rape of Nanking. More than any other twentieth-century event, World War II was crucial in shaping China's worldview, making Forgotten Ally both a definitive work of history and an indispensable guide to today's China and its relationship with the West. "In the manner of David McCullough, Mitter] creates a complex history that is urgently alive." -- Kirkus Reviews

It's just perfect!!!
Color: Black, Color: Black
I looked at all of the different watch box cases and I am so glad that I chose this one! It is well made and looks more expensive than it was. I love that I can see everything at once instead of having to open drawers to only glimpse at some of my stash. I bought this for my 20 watches and even though I can't fit my small wrist watches on the pillow because this is made for a man's watch, it really doesn't bother me. It's easier to take out a watch or put it back. It really freed up a ton of space in my jewelry cabinet for my jewelry! Love it!!!

Good case
Color: Black
Great watch case. Fits all my 43mm-48mm watches. Any bigger they will run against each other. But altogether a solid purchase.
