The Generalissimo: Chiang Kai-shek and the Struggle for Modern China

Traditional Chinese edition of The Generalissimo: Chiang Kai-shek and the Struggle for Modern China. A biography of Chiang Kai-shek by Jay Taylor. Taylor's thorough research of Chiang's life paints Chiang not only as a brutal dictator, as painted by many other biographers, but also gave Chiang the credit he deserved. The 24 years after Sun Yat-sen's death until Mao drove Chiang to Taiwan, China was perpetually in war and turmoil. Chiang might have lost the Mainland to Mao, but what he did for Taiwan in the 26 years he was alive, is largely Vietnamesewed as a deserving model for China to emulate. Two volumes.
