There is a brief discussion of the consequences to China of the Doolittle Raid in Barbara Tuchman's "Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-1945", but, as indicated by the title, it is from the American perspective. I'd love to read something from a Chinese perspective, keeping in mind that China was really in the middle of a civil war during that time, so there are probably multiple perspectives.

BTW, have you ever seen the Hollywood treatment of the raid, (same title as Lawson's book, with Spencer Tracey as Jimmy Doolittle)?

Doolittle made some significant contributions to aviation in his career, especially in pioneering instrument flying. I recently read Winston Groom's "The Aviators", which includes coverage of Doolittle.
