Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "This is a triumph of both research and storytelling." Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs From the bestselling author of The Last Romantic comes a history of modern China throughout the 20th centuryfrom the revolution that ended over 2,000 years of monarchy, followed by World War II, and ending in the loss to the Communist partyand the beautiful, but ruthless, woman at its center.An epic and comprehensive historical tapestry of 20th century China, The Last Empress revolves around the formidable Madame Chiang Kai-shek and her family.

Well versed in both Western and Chinese culture, Madame Chiang made several tours abroad. She made the cover of Time magazine three times, befriended by the Roosevelts, stayed in the White House for long periods during World War II, and convinced the US Congress to financially support the Nationalists' war effort. Although dubbed the Dragon Lady in some quarters, she was an icon to her people. Compelling and definitive, The Last Empress tells the richly complex story of one of the most formidable, controversial, and unforgettable women of the 20th century, and how she helped bring China into the modern age. …
