i need a detailed time lines of the memoir so i could compare with other time lines from other memoirs.
i am in desperate need of maps.
i really need to have some knowledge of how finance and economics work.
the more languages i know the better. english, chinese, japanese, russians, french, and german really are necessity to study history around China in modern days.
sources from England was incredibly important. it's a surprise to me. but after some thoughts, it's really natural.
i need to know more about land lease act. what's the contents? what's the relation of it between china and england? how it was actually distributed, from the distribution's end, to the actual receiving end.
from the look of it, the most foundamental conflict between 蔣中正 和 Joseph Stillwell was "should we take on Burma or not?" So a detailed analysis of the strategic importance of Burma should be the most important thing on this subject. The capacity of Stilwell Road (Ledo) would be a good start in the analysis.
A detailed analysis on the results of Chennault's air force in China and China south sea is also a must.
Good and reliable Japanese Sources are in desperate need!
a neatly constructed timeline of China's 8 year war struggle against Japan is a must. the extension from 1931 918 to 1945 99 would be prefered but not in priority. because, 1931 918 could be a totally independent topic.
All the names in English sources should translated back into Chinese. It was a horror try to guess the English translation of Chinese names!
i felt that memoirs are always heavily biased. however, it's a great start point to ask questions, especially when the different memoirs have conflict point of views. these conflicts provides easy and quick questions to start researches!
