About the book

The biography of Chiang Kai-Shek and the China he lost. Between the fall of the Machu Empire in 1911 and the communist victory in 1949, Chiang Kai-Shek, the generalissimo of China, stood at the centre of a uniquely turbulent period in the modern history of the world's most populous nation. Focusing on Chiang's life up to and including his defeat by Mao, Generalissimo is an extraordinary rich and gripping biography that also represents a riveting history of pre-Communist China
