In 1937, a war that many leaders expected to localise instead lengthened into a struggle that neither side could cleanly end, and that the region could not contain. China at War treats the Second Sino-Japanese conflict as the engine room of a wider Asian transformation: a prolonged contest in which battlefield operations, governance choices, and diplomatic alignments fused into a single system. The question is not only why the fighting spread, but how duration itself changed what each actor could plausibly want, promise, and sustain. Sofia Nowak follows the War through the institutions that made it livable and, for many, unendurable: occupation administrations, party organisations, fiscal systems, supply corridors, and the coercive practices that tied them together. She examines occupation governance as a strategic problem rather than a footnote to campaigns, and shows how wartime mobilisation pulled civilians into the logic of survival, extraction, and compliance. Across contested zones, the book traces how legitimacy was built, spent, and stolen, and why resource constraints repeatedly forced decisions that looked tactical but proved politically irreversible. Written for students, historians, and readers seeking a clear analytic narrative, the book also clarifies why alliance politics mattered even when allies avoided direct War: external support shaped internal authority, calibrated risk, and structured endgames long before formal turning points arrived. Readers finish with a sharper framework for the Asia-Pacific war as an interconnected political-military system, and a deeper understanding of how long wars remake sovereignty, not simply borders.
