The Wars for Asia, 1911–1949

The Wars for Asia 1911–1949 by S. C. M. Paine is a book published in 2012 by Cambridge University Press. The work presents a view of three "nested wars" in early twentieth century East Asia, seen as distinct conflicts which, while carried on simultaneously, had their own welter of cause and dynamic: the Chinese Civil War 1911–1949; the Second Sino-Japanese War 1931–1945; the Second World War 1941–1945.
