I am always pleased to find a novel that illuminates an area of World War II history that I am unfamiliar with. Theodore White (not to be confused with T.H. White, the English author of The Once and Future King) based this novel on his war-time experiences as a journalist in China. It provides a fascinating look into the dying days of the war and touches on issues of leadership, racism and the judicious use of power. ( )
