China Fights Back: An American Woman With the Eighth Route Army ^[1] was a 1938 book by Agnes Smedley. It was a diary of her time with the Chinese Communist Eighth Route Army in the early stages of the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Released in the United States and Great Britain, it was much less successful than her earlier China books. ^[2] Smedley included some of the same material in a later book, Battle Hymn of China , which did much better.
