Dr. Kathryn Meyer Speaks on War-torn China

Dr. Meyer will speak on her book, Life and Death in the Garden: Sex, Drugs, Cops, and Robbers in Wartime China, on Thursday, February 19th at 2pm at the Veteran's Center in Millett Hall. Refreshments will be served.

Dr. Meyer’s new work offers a harrowing tale of the lives of slum dwellers in war-torn China during the late 1930s and 40s. Her exploration of life at the edge offers a fresh look at the Second World War in Asia, and a striking ground-eye view of the desperate struggle between the Chinese, Japanese and Russians forces in northern-most China.
