A War of Words: The Man Who Talked 4000 Japanese into Surrender by Hamish McDonald
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4.4 MB
Overview: Raised Japanese in a European skin at the turn of the 20th century, fate and circumstance ensured that Charles Bavier spent his life caught between two cultures, yet claimed by neither. A War of Words traces the extraordinary life of Bavier based on his own diaries and three decades of research by journalist and author Hamish McDonald. It thoroughly captures turn-of-the-century Japan, the Chinese revolution, and both world wars. The illegitimate son of a Swiss businessman, Charles Bavier was brought up by his father’s Japanese mistress before setting off on an odyssey that took him into China’s republican revolution against the Manchus, the ANZAC assault on Gallipoli, and British counterintelligence in prewar Malaya.
