GENERALISSIMO:CHIANG KAI-SHEK AND THE CHINA HE LOST
Book ID/图书代码: 12290005B04569
English Summary/英文概要: Following his acclaimed studies of the state of modern France and how Hong Kong has changed since the 1997 handover, Jonathan Fenby now turns his attention to one of the most interesting yet under-reported figures of twentieth-century history.
Chiang Kai-shek was the man who lost China to the Communists. As leader of the nationalist movement, the Kuomintang, Chiang established himself as head of the government in Nanking in 1928. Yet although he laid claim to power throughout the 1930s and was the only Chinese figure of sufficient stature to attend a conference with Churchill and Roosevelt during the Second World War, his desire for unity was always thwarted by threats on two fronts. Between them, the Japanese and the Communists succeeded in undermining Chiang’s power-plays, and after Hiroshima it was Mao Zedong who ended up victorious.
Brilliantly re-creating pre-Communist China in all its colour, danger and complexity, Jonathan Fenby’s magisterial survey of this brave but unfulfilled life is destined to become the definitive account in the English language.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 继乔纳森•芬比著名的对法国现状的研究和香港自1997年回归后变化的研究之后,他把注意力转向20世纪最有意思但较少提及的人物之一。
蒋介石把中国输给了共产党。国民党曾是民族主义运动的领袖。1928年蒋介石在南京确立了自己作为政府首脑的地位。然而,尽管他声称自己执政时期跨越了了整个20世纪30年代同时是中国唯一且够资格参加与丘吉尔和罗斯福一起的第二次世界大战期间的会议,但是他统一全中国的初衷总是受到两方面威胁,分别是日本人和共产党。他们成功地削弱了蒋介石的权利,并在广岛原子弹事件发生后,毛泽东获得了最后的胜利。
精辟重现了共产党领导前的中国——色彩斑斓、充满危险而又错综复杂。乔纳森•芬比对这一勇敢却未完成梦想的人生的权威调查中将成为关于该人物作品的基石。(兼职翻译-JDM)
