Abstract

When World War II ended Chiang Kai-shek seemed at the height of his power-the leader of Nationalist China, one of the victorious Allied Powers in 1945 and with the financial backing of the US. Yet less than four years later, he lost the China's civil war against the communists. Offering an insightful chronological treatment of the years 1944-1949, Parks Coble addresses why Chiang was unable to win the war and control hyperinflation. Using newly available archival sources, he reveals the critical weakness of Chiang's style of governing, the fundamental structural flaws in the Nationalist government, bitter personal rivalries and Chiang's personal lack of interest in finance. This major work of revisionist scholarship will engage all those interested in the shaping of twentieth-century history.

Abstract

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, 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. --from publisher description

Abstract

Cette première biographie en français de Madame Chiang Kai-shek révèle une vie hors du commun. Née Mayling Soong en 1898 à Shanghai, morte à 105 ans à New York, la première dame de la Chine républicaine joua un rôle si déterminant dans l'histoire de son pays qu'un journaliste put écrire : «Le plus grand homme d'Asie, c'est elle.» À partir de nombreuses sources inédites et d'enquêtes de terrain, Philippe Paquet corrige le jugement négatif trop volontiers porté sur le couple Chiang. À l'heure où, en Chine même, celui-ci fait l'objet d'une réhabilitation officielle pour son patriotisme et sa contribution à la modernisation du pays, l'auteur dépeint en Madame Chiang plus qu'une femme d'action, d'influence et de pouvoir, une véritable femme d'État. Chiang Kai-shek aurait-il connu le même destin sans sa femme ? Elle lui apporta l'argent de la bourgeoisie shanghaïenne, l'associa par alliance au père de la République, Sun Yat-sen, et lui procura, via le réseau missionnaire, une reconnaissance internationale. Sans la fascination des Américains pour cette Chinoise chrétienne éduquée aux États-Unis le soutien de Washington au Kuomintang n'aurait pas été aussi massif ni aussi durable. L'histoire de la Chine en aurait été changée
