A glimpse of war
Revisado: 04-17-25
The story gave me a glimpse of what it was like being in a war and appreicate the experience of being in a war. Gave me a perspective of how it was to lose a husband overnight after getting married which happened to some of my relatives who got married during the war. Also gave me a better view of why some people are better off to remain as best friends. It let me appreciate life.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 20
Chiang Kai-shek (1887-1975) led the Republic of China for almost fifty years, starting in 1926. He was the architect of a new republican China, a hero of the Second World War, and a faithful ally of the United States. Simultaneously a Christian and a Confucian, Chiang dreamed of universal equality yet was a perfidious and cunning dictator responsible for the deaths of over 1.5 million innocent people. This critical biography is based on Chiang Kai-shek's unpublished diaries, his extensive personal files from the Russian archives, and the Russian files of his relatives, associates, and foes.

Better appreciation of Chiang Kai Shek
Revisado: 03-09-25
All through out my life, I only knew Chiang Kai Shek as the name of our school in the Philippines, and that he was a significant figure in Taiwan. The book gave me a better appreciation of Who Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek is, what he went thru and what he have achieved, It gave me a glimpse of how life was like during his time, Whats his relationship with Dr. Sun Yat Sen. His story inspires me to push thru with the personal challenges I am facing right now. Having it in Audiobook format greatly helped me to finish the book, which otherwise i would not have finished. I highly recommend the book.
