While the battles of Europe and the Pacific dominate the headlines of World War II, an equally brutal and strategically vital campaign unfolded far from the spotlight—in the jungles of Southeast Asia.

The Silk Road may be one origin of globalization, but the Indian Ocean is another. Barry Cunliffe examines the beginning of maritime trade using the evidence of archaeology and the tales of great travelers such as Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta, and the Chinese Admiral, Zheng He.

Eight Years of Fire: China’s Struggle in the Second World War by Oliver Greyson is a gripping, narrative nonfiction chronicle of China’s monumental resistance against Japanese invasion during World War II. Spanning from the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937 to the final Japanese surrender in 1945, this powerful account brings to life one of the most overlooked theaters of the global war. With vivid storytelling, firsthand testimonies, and primary sources, the book weaves together battlefield heroics, civilian endurance, and political intrigue at the highest levels.

Enter a land of gods, samurai, and spirits—where ancient stories still echo today. Japanese Legends isn’t just another dry history book—it reveals how sacred myths still shape Japan’s festivals, rituals, and national identity. Whether you're drawn to samurai history, yokai tales, or the traditions of shrines and emperors, this book offers a fresh, accessible way to explore the myths and legends that built Japan.

Fly, Wild Swans is, in many ways, Jung’s love letter to her mother set against China’s development from the relative freedoms of the late-1970s and untrammelled capitalism of the 1990s to the current authoritarian repressive rule of Xi-Jinping. With vivid flashbacks to her family’s experience in communist China, the book offers an extraordinary account of Jung’s research into the genocidal regime of Mao Tse-Tung, the many fictions she uncovered and the political consequences of publishing her subsequent biography.
