An Economist Book of the YearA Financial Times Book of the Year "A book that has long cried out to be written." -- Observer (UK), Books of the Year In 1937, two years before Hitler invaded Poland, Chinese troops clashed with Japanese occupiers in the first battle of World War II. Joining with the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain, China became the fourth great ally in a devastating struggle for its very survival. Prizewinning historian Rana Mitter unfurls China's drama of invasion, resistance, slaughter, and political intrigue as never before. Based on groundbreaking research, this gripping narrative focuses on a handful of unforgettable characters, including Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, and Chiang's American chief of staff, "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell. Mitter also recounts the sacrifice and resilience of everyday Chinese people through the horrors of bombings, famines, and the infamous Rape of Nanking. More than any other twentieth-century event, World War II was crucial in shaping China's worldview, making Forgotten Ally both a definitive work of history and an indispensable guide to today's China and its relationship with the West. "In the manner of David McCullough, Mitter] creates a complex history that is urgently alive." -- Kirkus Reviews

A Solid Mount with Minor Imperfections
This MagSafe mount is a fantastic addition to my 2024 4Runner, offering a nearly factory-fit look. Installation was straightforward, though it required a bit of nerve. I was worried the clips attaching to the AC vent would snap, but with firm, steady pressure, they clicked securely into place without any issue. The result is a very stable platform for my phone.
Functionally, it performs exactly as hoped. It supports fast charging when paired with a capable cigarette port adapter, and the magnetic connection is surprisingly strong. It holds my heavy S25 Ultra securely during daily commutes, and the inclusion of two metal rings for non-MagSafe cases is a thoughtful touch. I haven't tested its limits on a bumpy off-road trail, but for normal driving, it’s perfect.
My only two critiques are minor but worth noting. With the phone in place, it completely blocks the hazard light button. A slight inconvenience. Additionally, I wish the mount's color matched the silver trim around the infotainment system for a more seamless look. Despite these small flaws, it's an excellent, clean mounting solution that I would recommend to other 4Runner owners.

Five Stars — Finally Got My Charger Back!
Color: Black, Color: Black
I bought this 3-in-1 wireless charging station as a gift for my girlfriend so she would finally stop stealing mine — and let me tell you, it worked. She loves it, her devices love it, and I love not having to play “Where’s my charger?” every night like it’s some kind of relationship scavenger hunt.
Pros:
• MagSafe is strong — Her phone snaps on like it’s reconnecting with its soulmate.
• Charges iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once — AKA: no more tangled octopus of cables on the nightstand.
• Looks clean and modern — Her side of the room instantly leveled up in aesthetics.
• Fast charging — She swears her phone charges “faster than her attitude in the morning,” her words not mine.
Cons:
• Now she judges my setup — Apparently I’m the one with the “messy” charger now.
• Might make you buy a second one — Because the moment you try to use hers, she suddenly remembers boundaries.
Overall, great gift, works perfectly, and saved my sanity. Would 100% buy again — but I don’t have to, because she finally stopped borrowing mine!

Fantastic charger!!
Color: Black
Bought two of these for my house due to a recommendation from my daughter. Immediately fell in love with them! They are exactly as described, very well made and look great! They’re not too big and don’t take up too much room. The magnet is VERY strong! I was worried it wouldn’t work with my phone case on, but it did! I need to mention though that I have an iPhone case specifically designed for the MagSafe technology, I do not know if it works with regular cases. Highly recommended!

Works well
Color: Black
I've been using this charger for a couple months now and it works well. It's definitely slower than a corded charger, but it's a convenient place to leave my phone while I work, without having to worry about it overcharging. It's nice to be able to check my phone while it's on the stand. This is my main charger, but if I need my phone charged in a hurry I'll use the cord. I've only used the phone charging option, so I can't speak to how well it works for watches or earbuds. I'm sure it's fine though.
