The most feared man in China, Dai Li, was chief of Chiang Kai-shek's secret service during World War II. This sweeping biography of "China's Himmler," based on recently opened intelligence archives, traces Dai's rise from obscurity as a rural hooligan and Green Gang blood-brother to commander of the paramilitary units of the Blue Shirts and of the dreaded Military Statistics Bureau: the world's largest spy and counterespionage organization of its time.
In addition to exposing the inner workings of the secret police, whose death squads, kidnappings, torture, and omnipresent surveillance terrorized critics of the Nationalist regime, Dai Li's personal story opens a unique window on the clandestine history of China's Republican period. This study uncovers the origins of the Cold War in the interactions of Chinese and American special services operatives who cooperated with Dai Li in the resistance to the Japanese invasion in the 1930s and who laid the groundwork for an ongoing alliance against the Communists during the revolution that followed in the 1940s. Frederic Wakeman Jr. illustrates how the anti-Communist activities Dai Li led altered the balance of power within the Chinese Communist Party, setting the stage for Mao Zedong's rise to supremacy. He reveals a complex and remarkable personality that masked a dark presence in modern China—one that still pervades the secret services on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Wakeman masterfully illuminates a previously little-understood world as he discloses the details of Chinese secret service trade-craft. Anyone interested in the development of modern espionage will be intrigued by Spymaster, which spells out in detail the ways in which the Chinese used their own traditional methods, in addition to adapting foreign ways, to create a modern intelligence service.
Frederic Wakeman Jr. is Haas Professor of Asian Studies in the Department of History at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of The Shanghai Badlands: Wartime Terrorism and Urban Crime, 1937-1941 (1996), Policing Shanghai, 1927-1937 (California, 1995), and The Great Enterprise: The Manchu Reconstruction of Imperial Order in Seventeenth-Century China (California, 1985), among others.

每个人,每个群体都有自己的象征。譬如“用油条洗脸”,不就是余秋雨的象征么?“穿睡衣见赫鲁晓夫”,不就是太祖的专利么?要是说到“不断擦鼻涕”象征着什么,十有八九会和“戴老板”挂上钩。大陆一段时间的影视剧,凡是有特务头子出场的,不管是不是戴笠本人,都会时不...
評分《间谍王》和戴笠 刚刚得知《间谍王》的作者魏斐德教授去世的消息,把这篇写于两年前的读后感找出来,做一些简略的修改。文字里的质疑和批评,不过是一个普通读者的感想,毕竟也无损于魏斐德教授在海外汉学界和中国史学界的声望。其实,海外中国研究学者们不管其学术水准或政...
評分说实话,还没读完,本没有评论全书的权利,但也想吐吐槽。 想八卦戴笠的人,就不建议读这本书了,一如魏斐德的风格,中立和史实,对于其人只描述,少评论。 之前读过他的《洪业》,觉得两本书有相似的风格,虽然一个写人,一个写朝代,而且都是史料和数据一大堆,但是读起来...
評分先不说风起云涌电视剧一样的特工事迹录,单单是写戴笠这个人,本书就比一般小说精彩,所以啊,《舞蛇者说》序里讲“正因为历史是描写个别和偶然,所以借助于生活自身的万千造化,他的出人意表的‘想象力’往往又超越了艺术作品的编造,特别是当那编造太过遵循‘普遍必然法则’...
