Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Average. Wear and loss along fold lines. Wormholes at bottom-left. Periodic foxing. Size 31 x 21.5 Inches. This is a 1937 Fuchida Tadayoshi map of China published in King (???) magazine during the opening phase of the Second Sino-Japanese War (World War II). A Closer Look Between the front (recto) and back (verso), t…he map shows the entire front of the early phase of the conflict, from Japanese puppet states in Manchuria and northern China to China's southern coastal provinces of Fujian and Guangdong. At front is the coastal regions of northern China, roughly as far as Shanghai, where Japanese influence was already strong after years of expanding its military and economic presence. The level of detail is extraordinary, particularly for a popular publication, but also highlights the immensity of the task facing Japan if it intended to occupy all of China. It is worth noting that, at the time of publication, it was not clear that the hostilities in China would evolve into a full-scale, protracted war. Japan initially hoped for more Chinese concessions and piecemeal territorial gains, and later aimed to deliver a severe enough blow to force Chiang to surrender. Full mobilization on a total war basis only commenced the following year, when it became clear that Chiang and his troops had no intention of surrendering despite losing Shanghai, Nanjing, and much else. Verso Content The back (verso) includes two larger maps, a wider perspective of eastern China and a map of central China from Shanghai southwards, respectively. The inset maps are, starting at top-right and moving clockwise, Beiping (Beijing), Tianjin, Qingdao, Guangdong (Guangzhou), Hong Kong, Wuhan (Hankou, Wuchang, and Hanyang), Jinan, Shanghai, and Nanjing. The Battle for Shanghai and Its Aftermath Starting with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria (the 'Mukden Incident') in September 1931, Chinese and Japanese troops fought on-again, off-again battles in northern China for several years. One of these many skirmishes took place on July 7, 1937, at the 'Marco Polo Bridge' (Lugouwiao ???), just to the southwest of Beijing. Chiang Kai-Shek was reluctant to throw his armies into a full-scale war against the better trained and equipped Japanese forces, but was compelled to bow to public pressure and launch the long-expected war. Chiang decided to dedicate the bulk of his best trained and equipped forces to a battle for Shanghai, allowing Beijing (at this time Beiping) to fall along with the rest of coastal north China, which was already within Japan's sphere of influence and virtually impossible to defend. Chiang also decided to focus on Shanghai because of the city's international profile and the large numbers of foreigners there; his strategy for winning the war relied in part on gaining foreign support, which ultimately succeeded. Due to the speed and surprise of their attack, Chinese troops at first succeeded in seizing territory defended by Japanese garrison forces in Shanghai, but lost momentum as Japanese reinforcements and heavy weapons came into play. Chinese-administered parts of the city, particularly Zhabei and Wusong to the north and east of the International Settlement, along with the Japanese neighborhood of Hongkou in the International Settlement, saw extensive bombardment and house-to-house fighting. Despite the valiant efforts of Chinese troops, Japanese forces had naval, air, and artillery superiority and were able to receive sufficient resupply and reinforcements, gradually turning the tide over several months. With most Chinese forces engaged in and around the city, a massive pincer counter-attack was prepared, similar to the Soviet victory at Stalingrad six years later. Severely weakened by the fighting in Shanghai and with many units in disarray, Chiang arranged a hasty defense of Nanjing while planning for a retreat to Chongqing, deep in the Chinese interior, to prepare for a long-term war of attrition. King Magazine and Ko?dansha King (???) was a mont.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Very good. Some dampstaining along fold lines. Small spot of loss at fold intersection. Size 21.5 x 15.5 Inches. This is a 1938 map of the Battle of Wuhan in the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937 - 1945) theater of World War II (1939 - 1945). It was published for the Japanese news daily, the Osaka Mainichi Shimbun . It c…overs much of central and southern China, particularly near the Yangtze River, in great detail; the battle raged over this area for much of the summer and autumn of 1938, resulting in a pyrrhic Japanese victory. A Closer Look at the Map This map shows the terrain of the Battle of Hankou (??; Hankow in contemporary sources, now part of Wuhan). Despite the name of the battle, it was in fact a wide-ranging campaign that spilled far beyond the city (at left-center), covering portions of six Chinese provinces. The map is extremely detailed, providing the names of a sea of small towns and villages. Just prior to the battle, Japan had entered a total war footing with the National Mobilization Law and called up conscripts. A home audience, especially those with family members at the front, would have been anxious to follow recent developments and have some sense of the places mentioned in the (tightly censored) news. The legend shows political boundaries, roads, railways (complete and under construction), and major cities. An inset map (1 : 8500000) shows the southern Chinese coast, including Hong Kong and the French Concession of Guangzhouwan marked out with dotted lines. After Japanese troops seized Guangzhou and other coastal cities, these territories and the Kunming-Haiphong Railway became essential routes for smuggling supplies to Chinese forces. The Second Sino-Japanese War The Second Sino-Japanese War was fought between the Republic of China, led by Chiang Kai-shek and the Guomindang (GMD, or Kuomintang KMT), and the Empire of Japan. Some scholars trace the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War to the Mukden Incident and the September 1931 Japanese invasion of Manchuria. In the following years, Japan established a puppet regime in Manchuria and extended its influence into northern China through several other 'incidents,' to the extent that it directly or indirectly controlled much of northern China and Inner Mongolia by 1937. Although determined to resist the Japanese, Chiang was eager to eliminate the domestic threat from the Communists first while also buying time to modernize his armies and gain better control over his generals, most of whom were semi-independent warlords. These plans were disrupted when Chiang was kidnapped by one of his own generals in December 1936 and forced to enter a united front with the Communists. Now compelled to turn his attention towards Japan, it was a matter not of if but when a war would come. The July 7, 1937 Marco Polo Bridge Incident has traditionally been considered the start of the war, when Chinese and Japanese troops began exchanging fire at the Marco Polo (Lugou) Bridge, along a main access route to Beijing. This exchange of fire escalated to an all-out battle leading to Japanese forces capturing both Beijing and its port city of Tianjin. As the conflict expanded, Chiang aimed to deliver a knockout blow before Japanese reserves could be thrown into the fight. He launched an assault on Shanghai in the autumn of 1937, hoping to throw the Japanese garrison there into the sea, but was unable to completely drive them out. When Japanese reinforcements did arrive, they launched a counterattack that forced Chiang to retreat from Shanghai with heavy losses. After a cursory defense of the capital, Nanjing, Chiang moved deep into the Chinese interior to prepare for a protracted war of attrition. Battle of Wuhan After their rapid victories at the start of the war, Japan was at an impasse. Years of military modernization and propaganda had laid the groundwork for the successful first phase of the war, but Japan simply lacked the resources and manpower to occupy the vast territory o.

Aggiungi al carrelloColour pictorial map, 51 x 67 cm, two small inset maps of Scandinavia and the Baltic and South Greece and the Dodecanese, on the verso a black and white world map showing the Pacific Theatre marking keys events of the war and in European world history, folding into the original pictorial pocket (a little toned and marked) 25.8 x… 17.7 cm, small fold split, but in very good condition. A scarce map in the "Dated Events" series published by C.C. Petersen in Canada, and distributed throughout North America commemorating D-Day. The colour map by Stanley Turner encompasses the area from England as far south as the French border with Spain and as far east as the USSR and Turkey. "With this invasion map you will be able to follow the progress of the Allied troops on their way to smash Germany.". The text at lower left goes on to elaborate on the features shown on the map, from elevation ("major battles are seldom fought on the tops of mountains") to pictographs of bombs falling. The black and white map on the verso shows the Far Eastern theatre of war, centring on the Pacific Ocean with the Asian landmass including India and the USSR at upper left, Australia at lower left and North America and the coast of South America at right of the map. Naval bases are shown and significant events in the war are noted in text boxes. A handsome production of a scarce map rarely seen with the original pictorial pocket.

Closed tears extending three (3) inches within printed area professionally repaired on verso. Exhibits several small areas of infill. Size 37.75 x 32.25 Inches. This is a large format separately issued 1944 Robert M. Chapin Jr. map of n…ortheastern India and northern Burma. The map depicts the simultaneous Japanese 'Operation U Go' and the 'Allied Myitkyina Offensive' as they were happening - thus representing the climax of World War II in Burma. Red lines in India mark the railway line connecting Calcutta with Dimapur and the airfields to Dimapur's north. These airfields were the only way for Allied supplies to reach Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese nationalists, as the Burma Road had been severed in 1942 by a Japanese attack. Dimapur was also the main communication link between Allied commanders in Calcutta and the troops fighting the Myitkyina Offensive. Both these facts made Dimapur a prime target for the Japanese. Parallel red lines into Burma mark the road from Dimapur to Kohima and Imphal, as well as the general direction followed by General Stilwell during the Myitkyina Offensive. Merrill's Marauders, Wingate's Raiders, and the Gurkhas and Kachins, all irregular Allied fighting forces, are referenced as well. The Japanese Operation U Go, and the Battles of Imphal and Kohima The Japanese launched Operation U Go on March 6, 1944 with the goal of capturing both Imphal and Kohima in India. Once those two cities had fallen, the Japanese planned to march on Dimapur and sever the railway sending supplies to Chinese nationalists, who the Japanese had been fighting in China since 1937. Hard fighting lasted through March and April, and in May the Allied IV Corps launched a counter-offensive that pushed the Japanese out of the area. By late June, the Japanese were in full retreat, its soldiers suffering from disease and starvation. The Myitkyina Offensive General Joseph Stilwell (march 19, 1883 - October 12, 1946) planned the Myitkyina Offensive, an invasion of northern Burma that resulted in the capture of the town of Myitkyina from the Japanese. Launched in April 1944, the offensive slogged through the monsoon season and ended in a costly months-long siege of Myitkyina, which finally fell on August 4, 1944. Stilwell was pleased with this result, but the soldiers under his command paid the price. One unit, the famed Merrill's Marauders, officially known as the 5307th Composite Unit, was so battle fatigued and disease ridden (a particularly virulent outbreak of amoebic dysentery severely hampered the unit's overall health) that the unit's medics continually asked for the whole unit to be relieved and sent to the rear to recuperate. Stilwell continually ignored these requests, and by the end of the siege of Myitkyina, only 130 combat-effective men remained in the 5307th, out of an original complement of 2,997. Publication History and Census This map was originally drawn by Robert M. Chapin Jr. to accompany an article detailing the fighting in India and Burma published in TIME magazine on April 17, 1944.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Very good. Exhibits light wear along original fold lines. Verso repairs to fold separations. Blank on verso. Size 23.5 x 46.5 Inches. This is a separately issued large-format 1942 Robert M. Chapin, Jr. map of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans during World War II. Chapin presents the war situation in each of the world's… major oceans from an American perspective for TIME Magazine's readers. Both maps emphasize wartime strategies, realities, and conditions specific to each ocean. The Situation in the Pacific On the map of the Pacific, situated on the left of the sheet, two lines stretch between the United States and the South Pacific. These lines represent two critical aspects of the Pacific War. The left line, drawn to resemble a barrier, bears the phrase 'They must not pass.' This line mark's the United States' furthest line of defense and stretches from Dutch Harbor to Midway, Samoa, and New Caledonia. The U.S. Navy stated that this line had to be held to protect American bases and supply lines. These efforts had been mostly successful (the one exception was the attack on Pearl Harbor a year earlier), and red bomb bursts mark battle locations, including Midway, the Coral Sea, and the Solomon Islands. Behind this defensive line, red ship silhouettes highlight the critical trans-Pacific supply lines between San Francisco, Sydney, Australia, and Auckland, New Zealand. The Situation in the Atlantic The Battle of the Atlantic bore little resemblance to the difficulties the U.S. faced in the Pacific because of the threat posed by Nazi submarines, or U-boats (short for Unterseeboot). In the Atlantic, the U.S. and Britain sent supplies by convoy, which were groups of cargo ships protected by Navy escorts. Nazi submarines wreaked havoc on these shipping convoys. U-boat attacks sent millions of tons of supplies to the bottom of the ocean and cost thousands of lives during 1942 and 1943. Here, three 'convoys' of red ship silhouettes highlight convoy routes north from New York to Britain and Murmansk in Russia, straight across the Atlantic to support the fighting in North Africa, and south to ports in West Africa or further south around the Cape of Good Hope to ports in the Middle East. Short comments mark areas where the highest number of attacks happen and where 'wolf packs' of German submarines hunted for convoys. Publication History and Census This map is an enlargement of a map created by Robert M. Chapin, Jr. and originally published in the December 7, 1942 edition of TIME Magazine. Two examples are cataloged in OCLC and are part of the institutional collections at Franklin and Marshall College and Pennsylvania State University. References: OCLC 947055145.

We have contacted the library and confirmed that it was legally deaccessioned. Size 44 x 28.5 Inches. This separately-issued large-format 1943 Robert M. Chapin map of Eastern Europe during World… War II celebrates Russian victories on the Eastern Front in the late summer and fall of that year. When this map was published, the Soviets were on the cusp of pushing the Wehrmacht out of Russia's pre-1939 borders. Territory shaded black highlights the ground regained by the Russians, while red arrows bring the viewer's focus to areas of renewed offensives. Chapin employs geometry to 'project' just how far the Red Army could push the Germans in the coming months as the hearty Russian army choose to ignore the onset of winter and keep attacking the retreating Germans.

We have contacted the library and confirmed that it was legally deaccessioned. Size 44.75 x 16 Inches. Created during the beginning of the 1944 World War II Allied offensive to liberate Burma fr…om the Japanese, this is a 1944 Robert M. Chapin, Jr. map of Burma. Two circular insets detail both battlefronts, commanded by American General Joseph Stilwell and British Admiral Louis Mountbatten. Red arrows highlight the Allied advance in both sectors. Stilwell's forces (depicted in the top inset) marched through northern Burma and reopened the critical Ledo Road, an overland supply route to Chiang Kai-shek's nationalist Chinese forces. Mountbatten's army (bottom circular inset) attacked Japanese forces farther south along the Indian Ocean. The China Burma India Theater The China Burma India Theater (CBI) was a second front for the Western Allies in the Pacific War. Burma, another British colony, was caught between British India and Japanese allied Thailand to the east. The Americans recognized India as a base of operations to resupply Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese nationalists in China. Kai-shek's fight against the Japanese bogged down hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, making them unavailable to fight against the Americans elsewhere in the Pacific. In Spring 1942, the Japanese launched an offensive aimed at conquering Burma and closing overland supply routes. This campaign proved successful, and the Japanese pushed the Allies out of Burma and back to India. The Burma Campaign of 1944 1945 The defeats of 1942, and subsequent losses in 1943, forced the Allies to reevaluate their plan going forward. In August 1943, a commando unit led by Major General Frank Merrill, 'Merrill's Marauders,' infiltrated Burma, where they utilized guerrilla tactics to harass the Japanese behind the lines. In February 1944, the Marauders attacked the Japanese 18th Division, allowing other elements of the American army under General Stilwell to gain a foothold in Burma. Following the Japanese defeats at Imphal and Kohima later in 1944, which stalled the Japanese invasion of India, the Allies began moving south in pursuit of the retreating Japanese. The Allies won victories at Meiktila and Mandalay before advancing on to Rangoon (Yangon), which was liberated in May.
