we're talking about we are now at the 80th anniversary of world war ii starting in europe, but of course it started in asia, china had been trying to fight off japan since 1937, with america and britain and other as bystanders in that war. so china ended up fighting alone forfour years, until december 1941, when, of course, pearl harbour was attacked and so were british colonies like hong kong and malaya. whether you like it or not, relationships between the asia—pacific superpowers are entwined. they need each other to survive in this fast economic, technological era. yes, of course, we see that most obviously between china and the us today, although remember they were on the same side in world war ii. but sure, it is a far closer world that it was before and, of course, japan u—turned completely from where it was, its military regime of world war ii and earlier to soon become a democracy and a pro—western ally of the us in the rivalries that we see in the world today. you have written all your novels set during world war ii. how much interest is there stil in having novels and stories set during that per
