An Economist Book of the YearA Financial Times Book of the Year "A book that has long cried out to be written." -- Observer (UK), Books of the Year In 1937, two years before Hitler invaded Poland, Chinese troops clashed with Japanese occupiers in the first battle of World War II. Joining with the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain, China became the fourth great ally in a devastating struggle for its very survival. Prizewinning historian Rana Mitter unfurls China's drama of invasion, resistance, slaughter, and political intrigue as never before. Based on groundbreaking research, this gripping narrative focuses on a handful of unforgettable characters, including Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, and Chiang's American chief of staff, "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell. Mitter also recounts the sacrifice and resilience of everyday Chinese people through the horrors of bombings, famines, and the infamous Rape of Nanking. More than any other twentieth-century event, World War II was crucial in shaping China's worldview, making Forgotten Ally both a definitive work of history and an indispensable guide to today's China and its relationship with the West. "In the manner of David McCullough, Mitter] creates a complex history that is urgently alive." -- Kirkus Reviews

nice chair for the money
This is a great chair for those not wanting to spend a lot of money and well built and sturdy. I don't do gaming so I'm looking at it as a computer chair so that's what my review will focus on. I had no trouble putting it together as it has a nice instruction book and not a one page print out like most China made products. Also the enclosed Allan wrench with a handle was someone's smart idea. It looks good (I also bought it since it was red) it's comfortable and fit's my needs but I can't comment on the durability factor as I have it for just a few days but I have no complaints for the price I paid at this time.

I Recommend!
very comfortable chair ive had it for a while now, it starts to get a faint creaking noise, but nothing unbearable. the cushions are firm yet comfortable at the same time. its not too big of a chair, fits great in my room. for the price , its pretty good quality, same could be said for its reclining, depending on how you set the tension of the reclining, the chair can be reclined with ease, or tight. this chair was easy to use and to set up. I very much recommend.

Great chair at a great price point.
This item was easy to put together, it was comfortable and visually stunning to look at. My toddlers are able to climb in and out as the chair remains stable. It’s simple to recline, and does so smoothly. The quality is great especially for the price point

I'll Take Three!
I recently purchased the DUMOS Ergonomic Computer Gaming Chair, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! This chair combines comfort, style, and affordability in a way that truly exceeded my expectations. The PU leather lumbar support provides excellent comfort and proper posture, making long gaming or work sessions much more enjoyable.
What really surprised me was the fantastic price—so good that I ended up buying three! I chose two in striking red and one in sleek blue for each person's room, and they all look fantastic. The build quality feels sturdy and durable, and the ergonomic design has already made a noticeable difference in my comfort levels.
If you're looking for a stylish, comfortable, and budget-friendly gaming or office chair, I highly recommend the DUMOS Ergonomic Chair. It’s a great investment in your comfort and style!
