Manchuria, Cradle of Conflict

""Manchuria, Cradle of Conflict"" by Owen Lattimore is a comprehensive historical account of the Manchurian region and its role in shaping the political landscape of East Asia. The book covers the period from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century and explores the various conflicts and power struggles that took place in the region during this time.

He also offers insights into the region's cultural and linguistic diversity, and the ways in which these factors influenced its political and social development.Overall, ""Manchuria, Cradle of Conflict"" is a compelling and informative read that sheds light on an often-overlooked region of Asia and its significance in shaping the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
