Frederic Wakeman Jr. is Haas Professor of Asian Studies in the Department of History at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of The Shanghai Badlands: Wartime Terrorism and Urban Crime, 1937-1941 (1996), Policing Shanghai, 1927-1937 (California, 1995), and The Great Enterprise: The Manchu Reconstruction of Imperial Order in Seventeenth-Century China (California, 1985), among others.
The most feared man in China, Dai Li, was chief of Chiang Kai-shek's secret service during World War II. This sweeping biography of "China's Himmler," based on recently opened intelligence archives, traces Dai's rise from obscurity as a rural hooligan and Green Gang blood-brother to commander of the paramilitary units of the Blue Shirts and of the dreaded Military Statistics Bureau: the world's largest spy and counterespionage organization of its time.
In addition to exposing the inner workings of the secret police, whose death squads, kidnappings, torture, and omnipresent surveillance terrorized critics of the Nationalist regime, Dai Li's personal story opens a unique window on the clandestine history of China's Republican period. This study uncovers the origins of the Cold War in the interactions of Chinese and American special services operatives who cooperated with Dai Li in the resistance to the Japanese invasion in the 1930s and who laid the groundwork for an ongoing alliance against the Communists during the revolution that followed in the 1940s. Frederic Wakeman Jr. illustrates how the anti-Communist activities Dai Li led altered the balance of power within the Chinese Communist Party, setting the stage for Mao Zedong's rise to supremacy. He reveals a complex and remarkable personality that masked a dark presence in modern China—one that still pervades the secret services on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Wakeman masterfully illuminates a previously little-understood world as he discloses the details of Chinese secret service trade-craft. Anyone interested in the development of modern espionage will be intrigued by Spymaster, which spells out in detail the ways in which the Chinese used their own traditional methods, in addition to adapting foreign ways, to create a modern intelligence service.
这是一篇关于“戴笠与中国特工”的超长的论文,写得周密细致,面面俱到,对了解中国近代国民党特工的发展应该有帮助。但与我预想的略有差距,很难讲有什么创意,也还是大量的史实堆积,对戴笠的个人分析偏少。 作为西方史学家里的“汉学家”,作为中国历史的旁观者,...
评分真的不行。 我没有受过专业历史训练,但是看过其他的论文,这个是真不行。 1.目标很大,戴笠和中国特工。这目标太大了,根本写不成,一个简简单单的刺杀都可以写成一本书,从时局引申到政治,有了前提条件才能引申出为什么有特工,以及特工的组织,这都是水到渠成的,而作者想...
评分没有人知道,自一九四六年三月份以后,戴笠生活在那个世界了。根据当时官方的调查报道,戴笠因一场飞机事故而死。“由于气候关系,驾驶员不慎撞在山上失事”(第二十五章,陨落之星,戴笠之死)。 会有人相信这个意外吗。莱司特·沃克说道,这个故事天衣无缝,但没...
评分每个人,每个群体都有自己的象征。譬如“用油条洗脸”,不就是余秋雨的象征么?“穿睡衣见赫鲁晓夫”,不就是太祖的专利么?要是说到“不断擦鼻涕”象征着什么,十有八九会和“戴老板”挂上钩。大陆一段时间的影视剧,凡是有特务头子出场的,不管是不是戴笠本人,都会时不...
评分作者魏斐德,美国汉学三杰之一,第一次接触他还是在图书馆看到的《洪业》,这次接触到这本《间谍王》,还是熟悉的感觉。 前面一大部分讲的是国民党秘密组织的历史由来。力行社,复兴社,蓝衣社,特务处……这些秘密组织可谓是让人五味杂陈,现代国家居然用秘密组织来影响国家。...
