Any recs for nonfiction books that show the “real” side of Asian history? I’m thinking like Japan and China taking over places in Asia (notably their influences on Korea), Shanghai being split between native and foreign influences in the 1910s-1950, Hong Kong going through Japanese and British occupations before being “given back” to China, Spanish invasion of the Philippines, etc.
I generally enjoy nonfiction when it’s more like history/textbooks with maps, facts, timelines, and less like memoirs/biographies, but I’ll look into either
