Andre Andre said: " This really does feel like collection of short stories.
Sure, it is a full book, but the differing chapters often do not feel connected apart from the same characters being in it. But nonetheless, the novel is well written and by the time I read it, i

"So Qing is the son of a mainland father. I wonder if that has any impact her. Granted, I won't find out because I have to prioritize which books to read and I only wanted to read this because of what another book said about its historical context." 22 hours, 35 min ago

"I guess I can consider myself lucky that only now in the resumee does he speak about power again. Albeit it is once more clear how much he focuses on the KMT when it comes to all of this. He never seems to consider that discourses during Japanese times might have influenced Taiwan, instead he always refers to the Qing times and the 20/30s republican times from "the mainland.""

Oliver Stone
“According to Japanese scholar Yuki Tanaka, the United States firebombed over a hundred Japanese cities. Destruction reached 99.5 percent in the city of Toyama, driving Secretary of War Henry Stimson to tell Truman he "did not want to have the US get the reputation of outdoing Hitler in atrocities," though Stimson did almost nothing to halt the slaughter. He had managed to delude himself into believing Arnold's promise that he would limit "damage to civilians." Future Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, who was on LeMay's staff in 1945, agreed with his boss's comment that of the United States lost the war, they'd all be tried as war criminals and deserved to be convicted.
Hatred towards the Japanese ran so deep that almost no one objected to the mass slaughter of civilians.”
Oliver Stone, The Untold History of The United States

“Like in the past, the biggest threat to the dog today lies in its increasing dependency on humans.”
Erik Zimen, Der Hund. Abstammung - Verhalten - Mensch und Hund.

“Probably in all our history no foe has been so detested as were the Japanese. Emotions forgotten since our most savage Indian wars were reawakened.”
Allen Nevins

“In Europe we felt that our enemies, horrible and deadly as they were, were still people.
...
But out here I soon gathered that the Japanese were looked upon as something subhuman and repulsive; the way some people feel about cockroaches or mice.”
Ernie Pyle

Bill Maher
“Now, don't get me wrong, I think border security is important. And I have no doubt that the Republican plan for turning our southern border into The Hunger Games will put a stop to the #1 threat facing America today — illegal cleaning ladies.”
Bill Maher
