这本书细致地研究了中国、朝鲜,特别是日本的资料,给人以极为深刻的印象。它明确地指出,至少在满洲,一九三七年后,共产党在农村居民中获得了相当高的威望。但只是在把动员抗日提到首位,而把激进的社会和经济改革降到次要地位后,才取得农民信任的。相反地,一九三七年以前,当满洲的共产党仍然强调土地改革和阶级斗争时,他们仅有少数追随者。这种情形的出现,主要是因为满洲的大多数农民是从华北迁来的,而华北的条件比东北要糟糕得多, This book gives a very deep impression on the careful study of the materials of China, North Korea and Japan in particular. It made it clear that at least in Manchuria and after 1937 the Communist Party gained a rather high prestige among rural residents. However, it was only after the mobilization of the anti-Japanese leader was first mentioned and the radical social and economic reforms were reduced to secondary importance before the peasants gained their trust. On the contrary, before 1937, when the Communists in Manchuria still emphasized the agrarian reform and the class struggle, they only had a few followers. This situation arises mainly because most of the farmers in Manchuria moved from North China, while the conditions in North China are much worse than in Northeast China.
