具体描述
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.

读后感
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...
评分早在1950年代，台湾的省辖市市长就是选举产生的，党外人士高玉树分别在1954、1964两度当选台北市长。首府一把手居然不是自己同志，国民党大佬们觉得很没面子（可见选举过程应该还算公正），于是力促将台北升级为直辖市，这样就可以不用选了。总统蒋介石同意了，旋即任命高玉树...
评分 评分金正日三子金正恩（金正银）将成为其接班人的消息已由朝鲜官方正式确认。这个消息早在金正日八月访华时已有透漏，所以并不算突然。但是关于金正恩这个即将成为朝鲜第三代领导人的人物，此前人们了解的却非常有限，甚至在朝鲜也没有多少人能够认得出他。 而这位...
