Eight Hundred Heroes: China’s Lost Battalion and the Fall of Shanghai
Stephen Robinson
A compelling military history of one of the most famous episodes of the Battle of Shanghai in 1937, when a small Chinese force made a determined stand against the invading Japanese army.
Stephen Robinson recounts the story of Xie Jinyuan and the Chinese battalion that defended the Sihang Warehouse, an event that became an enduring symbol of Chinese resistance. The book places the stand within the broader conflict in China and examines how the story became part of Chinese historical memory.
A strong addition to collections covering Chinese military history, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II in Asia, Shanghai history and twentieth-century warfare.
