Chiang Ching-kuo, son and political heir of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, was born in 1910, when Chinese women, nearly all illiterate, hobbled about on bound feet and men wore pigtails as symbols of subservience to the Manchu Dynasty. In his youth Ching-kuo was a Communist and a Trotskyite, and he lived twelve years in Russia. He died in 1988 as the leader of Taiwan, a Chinese society with a flourishing consumer economy and a budding but already wild, woolly, and open democracy. He was an actor in many of the events of the last century that shaped the history of China's struggles and achievements in the modern era: the surge of nationalism among Chinese youth, the grand appeal of Marxism-Leninism, the terrible battle against fascist Japan, and the long, destructive civil war between the Nationalists and the Communists. In 1949, he fled to Taiwan with his father and two million Nationalists. He led the brutal suppression of dissent on the island and was a major player in the cold, sometimes hot war between Communist China and America. By reacting to changing economic, social, and political dynamics on Taiwan, Sino-American rapprochement, Deng Xiaoping's sweeping reforms on the mainland, and other international events, he led Taiwan on a zigzag but ultimately successful transition from dictatorship to democracy.
Jay Taylor underscores the interaction of political developments on the mainland and in Taiwan and concludes that if China ever makes a similar transition, it will owe much to the Taiwan example and the Generalissimo's son.

15岁时,蒋经国找吴稚晖推荐其去苏联留学。吴稚晖说:“革命不是这么简单的,你再去考虑一下”。两周后,经国依然想去苏联。吴稚晖说:“你去试试也好,青年人多尝试一次,都是好的。“ 16岁时,蒋经国在莫斯科和21岁的邓小平在河边散步,畅谈邓在巴黎的见闻,和两个年轻人对...
评分书里刻画的蒋经国是一个令人尊敬的人物。从赣南专使到主政台湾,在我脑海里的蒋经国是一个干练,细致,不失人情味的领导者。全书既无学术文章的晦涩,也不像戏说的跌宕,眼前就是一个带着黑框眼镜的哈佛学者,将传记本人的历史娓娓道来,功过是非由读者自评。 评论里有好有坏...
评分历史越是向前推进,或许越能彰显出蒋经国的难能可贵。南方朔说:“在所有的民意调查里,蒋经国都是遥遥领先他人的最优领导人,这不是台湾人对权威时代有乡愁,而是在经过二十多年的历史淘洗,人们终于惊悟到蒋经国当然不完美,但却是相对最好的领导人。”他以独裁开始...
评分蒋经国的传记,种类颇多,陶涵先生本书堪称其中翘楚。 首先,本书的严谨真实,最足称道。陶涵似乎完全沉浸在对客观事实的陈述中,乃至连语调与氛围营造都是异常克制的,这种严谨之美,堪称典范。 第二,面对复杂的背景,陶涵的尺度异常老道。现代史歧见纷纭,主要源于对背景...
All right, I am an autocrat, but I am the last. I am using my power to ensure the introduction of democracy.---Ching-Kuo Chiang.
评分Well written. Easy to use power, hard to know when not to use it. 印象:父子重聚。方良过门。经国留苏。教人划拳。两次婚姻。晚年解禁。另,张学良脱身后,委托索斯比卖掉价值几百万美元的文物,赴夏威夷养老。
评分Life is harsh for great people
评分是非成败转头空,青山依旧在,几度夕阳红。
评分蒋家两代伟人,一脉相承,对比大陆,蒋介石在台湾建立了“模范社会”,经国进一步把它进化为真正的民主。 蒋经国1988年去世,让大部分中国人错过的最后也是最近的一个民主契机。 马英九继承了经国的理想,台湾现在是昏暗大陆边上的一站自由明灯,虽然中国人的未来依旧渺茫,姑且只能寄希望于他。
