The Last Empress: Madame Chiang Kai-shek and the Birth of Modern China
by Hannah Pakula
by Hannah Pakula
This was a very interesting book especially for someone who knew very little about Chinese history before reading it. The first chapters about the Soong family captivate and read like a novel, beautifully written. As the story progresses into world war II the writing becomes very academic and daunting to read. While the information is enlightening it is a difficult read.
