" . . . [Scholars] interested in the Japanese occupation of China and Chinese collaboration will find much of value in the book."—The International History Review "The title of this book is enough to arouse interest since it deals with a particularly sensitive phenomenon in modern Chinese history: collaboration with the Japanese during the occupation. It is therefore very much to the credit of the two editors, David Barrett and Larry Shyu, to have brought together the papers presented on this subject during a conference held in Vancouver in December 1995, and devoted to the Sino-Japanese war. . . . This group publication contains a wealth of information useful to our knowledge and understanding of the period."—China Perspectives "By offering fresh perspectives on China's wartime collaborationism, the articles in this valuable anthology contribute significantly to our better understanding of the complexity of not only Chinese collaborationism but also nationalism." "This is an extremely important volume of essays which provides a vital new perspective on our understanding of the 1937-1945 Sino-Japanese war."—Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies
