Synopsis

Shanghai is a city defined by war. The city and its armed struggles were central to the relationship between China and Australia from the fall of the Manchus in 1912 to the Communist victory in 1949. Yet with the notable exception of George ‘Chinese’ Morrison, the Australian contribution has been largely neglected and no single volume covers the experiences of the many remarkable Australians caught up in the drama. Set against a backdrop of imperial splendour and abject squalor, Shanghai Fury examines one of the seminal periods of the 20th Century in a compellingly readable narrative that mixes personal memoir with combat action to complete a powerful trilogy on Australians at war.

Editorial Reviews

"There's a lot to like about this book, and it's worth the time it takes to get through it.
Serious students of history will love the bibliography, the precise maps and diagrams, and the crudite endnotes." - Kaye Franklin, Sunshine Coast Sunday
