Counterrevolution in China: Wang Sheng and the Kuomintang

This ground-breaking book spans 60 years of modern Chinese history from the much neglected non-communist perspective. Concentrating on Wang Sheng’s career in relation to Chiang Kai-Shek’s extraordinary son Chiang Ching-Kuo, it shows that the KMT were perfecting the methods that were to make Taiwan an East Asian Tiger’ economy at the very point that they lost’ the mainland. The book also provides a fascinating insight into Taiwan’s efforts to aid South Vietnam and Cambodia from 1960 as the Indochina war unfolded.
