Though scarcely mentioned in the world of early 21st century politics, Manchuria represented a key region of Asia during the first half of the 20th century. Once the heartland of the fierce Manchu empire, this northeastern Chinese region's rich natural resources made it a prize for nations in the process of entering the modern age, and three ambitious nations in the midst of such a transformation lay close enough to Manchuria to attempt to claim it: Japan, Russia, and China.

The Japanese Invasion of Manchuria somehow manages be both too detached -- not giving us a feel for the people on the ground -- and too lost in minutias -- not formulating any framework for the broader trends of the subject. It's a basic survey of the subject that you would find in undergraduate student essay.
You would be better served scanning Wikipedia for the information found here, and then read a better book to dig deeper.
Although the narrator is listenable, the fact that they are not Chinese nor Japanese speakers is apparent. And you don't need to be a Chinese speaker to know that "Mao" is not pronounced "mayo." He was a communist not a condiment. The pronunciation of Chinese is also inconsistent. "Pu Yi" is sometimes pronounced correctly, and other times merged together to sound like "pui." There are many such inconsistencies like that, including with "Mao."
