買瞭好多年,終於在迫於“生計壓力”的情況下(竟然)愉快地讀完瞭。因為有Richard的教導,所有曆史細節都像被紅綫串珠一樣make sense. 最後幾章看得很心酸,老瞭的May-ling和天下所有老去的人一樣,經曆病痛,經曆孤獨,經曆時光過去無法逆轉...

With the beautiful, powerful, and sexy Madame Chiang Kai-shek at the center of one of the great dramas of the twentieth century, this is the story of the founding of modern China, starting with a revolution that swept away more than 2,000 years of monarchy, followed by World War II, and ending in the eventual loss to the Communists and exile in Taiwan. An epic historical tapestry, this wonderfully wrought narrative brings to life what Americans should know about China -- the superpower we are inextricably linked with -- the way its people think and their code of behavior, both vastly different from our own. The story revolves around this fascinating woman and her family: her father, a peasant who raised himself into Shanghai society and sent his daughters to college in America in a day when Chinese women were kept purposefully uneducated; her mother, an unlikely Methodist from the Mandarin class; her husband, a military leader and dogmatic warlord; her sisters, one marriedto Sun Yat-sen, the George Washington of China, the other to a seventy-fifth lineal descendant of Confucius; and her older brother, a financial genius. This was the Soong family, which, along with their partners in marriage, was largely responsible for dragging China into the twentieth century. Brilliantly narrated, this fierce and bloody drama also includes U.S. Army General Joseph Stilwell; Claire Chennault, head of the Flying Tigers; Communist leaders Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai; murderous warlords; journalists Henry Luce, Theodore White, and Edgar Snow; and the unfortunate State Department officials who would be purged for predicting (correctly) the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War. As the representative of an Eastern ally in the West, Madame Chiang was befriended -- before being rejected -- by the Roosevelts, stayed in the White House for long periods during World War II, and charmed the U.S. Congress into giving China billions of dollars. Although she was dubbed the Dragon Lady in some quarters, she was an icon to her people and is certainly one of the most remarkable women of the twentieth century.
作者虽收集了很多资料,却带着太多的主观态度,擅自为读者下定论。通篇基本都是批评,无论是共产党还是国民党,在作者眼中都是有手段,卑鄙为己欲的政治家。我当然相信近代中国的政策很糟糕,但是完全抹杀蒋、宋的爱国心,也未免太功利主义了。作者大概是无信仰的人,身为美国...
評分本来是冲着书商在本书(英文原名《末代皇后》)(中文版)上面印的所谓美国老政客基辛格的评价(本传记是宋美龄的盖棺论定权威之著)以及当当网商品广告页面所谓“绝密资料首度曝光”的说法买下的,结果发现书里好像几乎没有关于传主宋美龄的新论! 作者好像只是几宋美龄的主...
評分这本书今年1月中在英国出版,厚厚一本,正文就有681页,我才看到一半左右。作者 Hannah Pakula 似乎和中国没有太大渊源,后来我看她的个人简介,才发现她原来和宋美龄是校友,两人都麻省著名的 Wellesley College 读过书。 写宋美龄的一个困难之处,是第一手材料不足。宋美龄...
