Introduction: War, memory, and nationalism in China -- Hot war, cold war: China's conflicts, 1937-1978 -- History wars: how historical research shaped China's politics -- Memory, nostalgia, subversion: how China's public sphere embraced World War II -- Old memories, new media: wartime history online and onscreen -- From Chongqing to Yan'an: regional memory and wartime identity -- The Cairo Syndrome: World War II and China's contemporary international relations -- Conclusion: China's long postwar.

Summary: "Once sidelined from public memory, World War II is now a historical touchstone in China. Rana Mitter links the reassessment of the war to China's rising nationalism. At home, Chinese use the war to shape conflicted identities; abroad the war with Japan is now treated as a Chinese victory, a founding myth for a people destined to shape the global order"-- Provided by publisher.
