One of the most momentous stories of the last century is China’s rise from a self-satisfied, anti-modern, decaying society into a global power that promises to one day rival the United States. Chiang Kai-shek, an autocratic, larger-than-life figure, dominates this story. A modernist as well as a neo-Confucianist, Chiang was a man of war who led the most ancient and populous country in the world through a quarter century of bloody revolutions, civil conflict, and wars of resistance against Japanese aggression.
In 1949, when he was defeated by Mao Zedong―his archrival for leadership of China―he fled to Taiwan, where he ruled for another twenty-five years. Playing a key role in the cold war with China, Chiang suppressed opposition with his “white terror,” controlled inflation and corruption, carried out land reform, and raised personal income, health, and educational levels on the island. Consciously or not, he set the stage for Taiwan’s evolution of a Chinese model of democratic modernization.
Drawing heavily on Chinese sources including Chiang’s diaries, The Generalissimo provides the most lively, sweeping, and objective biography yet of a man whose length of uninterrupted, active engagement at the highest levels in the march of history is excelled by few, if any, in modern history. Jay Taylor shows a man who was exceedingly ruthless and temperamental but who was also courageous and conscientious in matters of state. Revealing fascinating aspects of Chiang’s life, Taylor provides penetrating insight into the dynamics of the past that lie behind the struggle for modernity of mainland China and its relationship with Taiwan.

快读完了，写得不错，多了很多和常识不同的细节，然而毕竟过于biased了，摘一个星星

看的英文版，略知一二。感觉作者列入大量史实，但是自己总结很少，从而逻辑不是很清楚。叙事能力偏弱。

【小学期那些网上搜的着的书们】 囧~ 意识形态很强 豆瓣上星很高 但是上过课听历史学院那些大神们讲过才知道 有很多历史被作者直接忽略和隐瞒了 但是换个角度看问题也不失为一个好事 不过历史的悲哀就是你看到的每一个片段 都不可能再是真实的历史了 （蒋纬国好帅~

一大半都在讲蒋和美国的关系…… 提供了另一个视角看历史， 48年，李宗仁做总统，3.5mil兵，但是没弹药。共2mil兵，有苏联 毛冲到美国南京驻华大使卧室里，逮捕了领事.沈阳市。 在上海逮捕了美国领事，导致对方死在羁押中 支援越南，毛，不要节省大炮，我们会送充足的炸弹，真的很中国人。
