add to cart   close window

In this article, the author explains the reasons behind his break-up with Chiang Kai-shek, the Chinese nationalist leader, over the terrorism and corruption of the regime. As the terrorism, corruption and inflation in China grow worse, which they are destined to do despite any amount of money Chiang receives from abroad, the democratic forces will eventually break out into the open and bring about Chiang's downfall. Throughout his years in power Chiang has never understood the secret of popular support. Like any northern war lord, he believes in building up his own power.
