About the author

Bai Sun is a Chinese author whose work centers on military history. Public information about him is limited: his dates of birth and death, nationality, and educational background are not clearly documented. Judging from the twenty titles held in the collection, his writing focuses on major campaigns and turning points of the Second World War. Representative works include The Blitzkrieg on Poland, The Capture of Berlin, The Bloody Battle of the Ardennes, Strangling Kursk, Bloody Defense of Stalingrad, The Death Struggle at Midway, The Attack on Pearl Harbor, and The Desperate Defense of Moscow. These titles show that he tends to organize his narratives around individual campaigns, covering both the European and Pacific theaters and writing about offensives and blitzkrieg as well as sieges, defensive stands, and urban bloodbaths.
