Description
The Far East crisis fills Volume III of 1932 by chapters. Each chapter spans days, not months, that winter. January opens with Manchuria's fate still contested. Shanghai's fighting erupts at the month's end. February's chapters run thickest of all. March brings talks, truces, and more protests. The record closes on May 5 in chapter eight. Dates, not themes, order this volume.
A mid-volume pair of wires shows the pace. Cunningham and Johnson cable from Shanghai on February 24. File numbers pile up within a single evening. Washington reads the war hour by hour. The volume is a crisis diary in telegrams. Its chapters tick like a clock. No summary could match its tempo. Readers feel the emergency's rhythm directly.
