The Generalissimo's Son pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Chiang Ching-kuo, son and political heir of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, was born in 1910, when Chinese women, nearly all illiterate, hobbled about on bound feet and men wore pigtails as symbols of subservience to the Manchu Dynasty. In his youth Ching-kuo was a Communist and a Trotskyite, and he lived twelve years in Russia. He died in 1988 as the leader of Taiwan, a Chinese society with a flourishing consumer economy and a budding but already wild, woolly, and open democracy. He was an actor in many of the events of the last century that shaped the history of China's struggles and achievements in the modern era: the surge of nationalism among Chinese youth, the grand appeal of Marxism-Leninism, the terrible battle against fascist Japan, and the long, destructive civil war between the Nationalists and the Communists. In 1949, he fled to Taiwan with his father and two million Nationalists. He led the brutal suppression of dissent on the island and was a major player in the cold, sometimes hot war between Communist China and America. By reacting to changing economic, social, and political dynamics on Taiwan, Sino-American rapprochement, Deng Xiaoping's sweeping reforms on the mainland, and other international events, he led Taiwan on a zigzag but ultimately successful transition from dictatorship to democracy.
Jay Taylor underscores the interaction of political developments on the mainland and in Taiwan and concludes that if China ever makes a similar transition, it will owe much to the Taiwan example and the Generalissimo's son.
Jay Taylor is a Research Associate at The Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University.

評分始於2012-01-31,是kindle買來讀的第一本書。去年因準備考試暫停,今年鼕天再次翻開,終於讀完瞭。
評分Well written. Easy to use power, hard to know when not to use it. 印象:父子重聚。方良過門。經國留蘇。教人劃拳。兩次婚姻。晚年解禁。另,張學良脫身後,委托索斯比賣掉價值幾百萬美元的文物,赴夏威夷養老。
窃以为台湾存在的最大意义,对大陆而言,就是提供了一个参考,看,中国人也可以搞民主。 小蒋留苏十几年,又搞地下工作几十年,似乎应该是康生似的阴险猥琐的小人,而在后期主政之后,却坚持开放政策,相比对岸的朋友,高端上档次。 当然台湾的民主过程,并不是小蒋的功劳,我...
評分抗战期间在赣南成绩斐然,在一个污浊的政府中渡辟一条清洁高效的地方。多次将四大家族的后裔拉下马,驱逐上海黑帮势力,挽救危局于水火。 一生为官清廉,在台湾当太子的时候还常常去自己排队买电影票看电影,到饭店吃饭。而且竟然有一次自己晚上开车溜达时把一个陌生人送回家...
評分2010-12-27 旺報 【胡勇/上海市.博士生】 下決心從書店買回了陶涵(Jay Taylor)的《蔣經國傳》大陸版中譯本。剛拜讀了陶涵新著《蔣介石與現代中國的奮鬥》的台灣版中譯本,而大陸版的《蔣經國傳》直接從台灣引進,同樣出自林添貴先生的譯筆,且號稱「最新版·全譯本...
評分书里刻画的蒋经国是一个令人尊敬的人物。从赣南专使到主政台湾,在我脑海里的蒋经国是一个干练,细致,不失人情味的领导者。全书既无学术文章的晦涩,也不像戏说的跌宕,眼前就是一个带着黑框眼镜的哈佛学者,将传记本人的历史娓娓道来,功过是非由读者自评。 评论里有好有坏...
