Civil war raged in China throughout the 1920s and 30s. Western missionaries continue to operate in China during these times. Some of them were captured and executed by the Communist. Others suffered after the Japanese invaded China in 1937. In 1941, after Pearl Harbor, all of the missionaries and the areas under Japanese control were interned. One prominent China missionaries who died in internment was Eric Lidell, the hero of the Oscar-Award winning movie Chariots of Fire. (These are facts found on page 44 and not direct quotes.)
