Secret War in Shanghai

"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.

First sentence: On the night of 7 July 1937 Japanese soldiers staged a provocative incident at the Lukouchiao (Marco Polo) bridge near the old imperial capital of Peking - or Peiping as it was known at the time.
