一次随手翻一本美国中学历史教材，作者告诉孩子史上最早的反战诗出现在中国的《诗经》里。我们小学的算术教材里的习题都是打下敌机多少架

牛津大学中国史教授Mitter写书“China's War with Japan, 1937-1945: The Struggle for Survival“，没有去纠缠中国军事的成败。而是如书评写的，

”The Chinese war effort could not hope to match that of the more developed states, but it dominated the administrative and economic spheres in China, while condemning tens of millions of Chinese to high levels of deprivation and hunger throughout the conflict.“ 

“Mitter describes horrors on both sides. The Japanese "rape of Nanjing" – the one event of the war that is familiar worldwide – did happen, and Mitter will have no truck with Japanese attempts to explain it away. But he also explores the background that led Chiang ruthlessly to order the destruction of the dykes on the Yellow River to stop the Japanese advance, which left more than half a million Chinese dead and 4.8 million as refugees.”
