He is the author of several books\, including China’s War with Japan: The Struggle for Survival\, 1937-1945 (Penguin\, 2013)\, [US title: Forgotten Ally] which won the 2014 RUSI/Duke of Westminster’s Medal for Military Literature\, and was named a Book of the Year in the Financial Times and Economist. His latest book is China’s Good War: How World War II is Shaping a New Nationalism (Harvard\, 2020). His recent documentary on contemporary Chinese politics “Meanwhile in Beijing” is available on BBC Sounds.  He is co-author\, with Sophia Gaston\, of the report “Conceptualizing a  UK-China Engagement Strategy” (British Foreign Policy Group\, 2020).  He won the 2020 Medlicott Medal for Service to History\, awarded by the Historical Association.  He is a Fellow of the British Academy and an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. \nThe Annual Reischauer Lecture Series is co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Korea Institute\, Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies\, and Harvard University Asia Center. \nListen to parts two and three of this three-part lecture below: \n \nHarvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies · An Era of Emotion? 2021 Annual Reischauer Lecture with Rana Mitter\, Part 2\n \nHarvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies · A Sense of Purpose? 2021 Annual Reischauer Lecture with Rana Mitter\, Part 3
