Eight Years of Fire: China’s Struggle in the Second World War by Oliver Greyson is a gripping, narrative nonfiction chronicle of China’s monumental resistance against Japanese invasion during World War II. Spanning from the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937 to the final Japanese surrender in 1945, this powerful account brings to life one of the most overlooked theaters of the global war. With vivid storytelling, firsthand testimonies, and primary sources, the book weaves together battlefield heroics, civilian endurance, and political intrigue at the highest levels.
Listeners will follow Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, frontline generals, and ordinary villagers through harrowing battles like Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hengyang. From the horrors of the Nanjing Massacre to the resilience of wartime Chongqing, this book offers a sweeping yet humanized look at a nation’s survival. Meticulously researched yet accessible to general listeners, Eight Years of Fire is essential listening for anyone interested in WWII history, Asian studies, and global conflict.
