Building a Nation at War

Discover the transformative power of science and technology in J. Megan Greene's insightful book, Building a Nation at War, published by Harvard University Press in 2022. This compelling hardback spans 336 pages and delves into the pivotal role of the Chinese Nationalist government during the Sino-Japanese War. Greene argues that the Nationalists' retreat inland not only necessitated a shift in resource management but also fostered new alliances with the United States.
