The Chinese.
Harmondsworth. Pelican. 1942. Stock ID #167140 "China's four years' resistance to aggression has surprised friends and enemies alike, and Japan's alliance with the Axis Powers makes China now a potential ally of the democracies. This book looks into the values of Chinese civilization as it has persisted through five thousand years among four hundred million people. It finds that the New China that is being built up in the West follows a pattern of life that is partly old and partly new. If China can emerge from this struggle a united democratic nation based on ideals not unlike those of the Anglo-Saxon people, there is hope of a world order of freedom and peace."
