Description: "Shanghai during World War II was a killing field of brutal competition, ideological struggle, and murderous political intrigue." "Secret War in Shanghai is the first book-length account of the little-known story of Shanghai's underground war. Bernard Wasserstein has researched if entirely from original sources and uncovered startling new evidence of collaboration and treason by American, British, and Australian citizens."--BOOK JACKET.
