About this listen

History is often told through the lens of battles and treaties, but Strife in Asia! delves deeper—unraveling the relentless chain of events that pushed the region toward war. From the Opium Wars to the rise of Japanese militarism, this book examines the political, economic, and ideological forces that made conflict inevitable.

More than just an analysis, Strife in Asia! blends rigorous scholarship with gripping narrative. Each chapter opens with a human perspective—vivid, personal accounts that capture the fear, resilience, and suffering of those swept up in history’s currents. By weaving together high-level strategy and its devastating human cost, the book bridges the gap between the analytical and the deeply personal.

At its heart, Strife in Asia! amplifies the overlooked voices of history: civilians displaced by imperial ambitions, victims of occupation, and generations scarred by decisions made in distant capitals. Through their stories, it offers a more profound and empathetic understanding of the forces that shaped our world.

This is only the beginning. In the forthcoming Strife in Europe!, the saga continues—tracing the choices that plunged the West into total war.

For listeners of military history, political strategy, and human endurance, Strife in Asia! is an indispensable journey into the past—one that reminds us history is not merely about nations and leaders, but about the lives forever altered in their wake.
