Japan's blissful isolation changed with the arrival of American Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853. In awe of the American weapons and ships, the Tokugawa shogunate quickly realized that they needed to evolve and modernize their military to survive, and a time of rapid change descended on Japan. Within a mere 30 years, the Tokugawa period’s great samurai caste was extinct. Military service was no longer the exclusive domain of the privileged warrior class who had combined the military with an intricate network of social status and vassalship to their feudal lords.

To step into the world of the Red Dragon Society is to enter a realm where history is not written by the victors, but by those who survived in the darkness between the lines of official records. For centuries, this organization has existed as a shadow cast by the sun of the ruling dynasties, a parallel reality that has influenced the rise and fall of empires, the flow of global commerce, and the very structure of the modern underworld.

To escape the regime, she crossed China in a perilous journey that exposed her to sexual abuse, hunger, exhaustion, and the constant threat of death.

Standard English-language histories of World War Two have their own Mercator distortion: they make the Anglo-American experience loom enormous and shrink almost everything else. This book is the Robinson projection of WWII—it allocates narrative to each combatant nation in strict proportion to population. The result: China commands 27% of every chapter. India, at 378 million people, becomes the second-largest presence. The Soviet Union’s catastrophe dominates Europe. Small nations—Poland, Yugoslavia, Greece—receive sustained monthly attention. The familiar Anglo-...
