Posted: August 13th, 2022 | No Comments »

This weekend is the 85th anniversary of the terrible events of August 14th in Shanghai, 1937, the accidental bombings of the Settlement and Frenchtown – then the largest civilian casualties from aerial bombing to date…I’ll post some new images I’ve acquired recently tomorrow (14th)…But here’s a reminder that my recreation of that awful day, the run up to it and the aftermath – Bloody Saturday: Shanghai’s Darkest Day (Penguin China and Penguin South East Asia) – is still available (amazon UK & amazon US)
