First edition 1st printing of this scarce illustrated pro-China work documenting the opening campaigns by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force and Navy during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Hostilities had increased throughout the 1930s following the first Sino-Japanese War in which Japan had conquered and absorbed Manchuria into the Japanese Empire. Chiang Kai-shek’s nationalist forces joined with the warlords of Hunan and Szechwan provinces to fight the Japanese after a number of provocations in the summer of 1937. Chiang Kai-shek believed that by initially attacking and bombing Japanese naval installations and troops in and around Shanghai he would force the foreign powers to ally with China to fight against Japan to protect their enormous investments in southern China. The Nationalist Chinese armies held out for three months against ferocious bombardment and shelling by the Japanese from planes based in Taiwan and ships on the Huangpu River inflicting huge numbers of casualties on the Chinese and eventually forcing the Chinese to retreat from Shanghai to Nanking with Japanese reinforcements constantly decimating them. These images show victims at the South Station bombings caring for Chinese wounded Chinese women training as soldiers and nurses in the aftermath of the North Station Area shelling and bombing bitter retreat by Chinese soldiers the advances and marching of Japanese forces in Shanghai and beyond.

The revolutionary journalist's major work a memoir of her twelve years as a correspondent on the front lines of both the Chinese revolution and the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1929 to 1942. Smedley 1892-1950 was a prolific left journalist and probable spy known for her active support of Chinese and Indian revolutionary causes and for her many writings on Maoist China. <br /> <br /> The laid-in letter of about 250 words is dated Dec. 26 and addressed to a young Army lieutenant from Michigan Eugene S. Brewer. Smedley discusses the recent U.S. Presidential elections stating that she voted for Roosevelt despite disagreeing with "many things Roosevelt has done and still does.but I was afraid of Dewey and his rotten reactionaries. Now I grow more and more afraid of Churchill and it would be a godsend if he'd fall dead or if someone would kindly bump him off." She comments on British policy in India: "As long as Nehru remains in prison I have no hearing for any agent of the British" - and concludes with a description of her work for China relief "raffling off things for 2 weeks to aid cultural workers in Chung King.I'm tired tramping the streets selling chances for 10¢! So much work for so little." <br /> <br /> Eugene S. Brewer 1914-2001 was a 1935 graduate of the University of Michigan. He won a 1938 Avery Hopwood Prize for a proletarian novel apparently never published "Some Brass and No Groceries." After a brief and apparently unremarkable scriptwriting career in Hollywood Brewer returned to his home town of Owosso Michigan where he was for many years a county planner and surveyor. Brewer's connection to Smedley is uncertain but likely dated from his student days at Michigan. Alfred A. Knopf unknown
