Madame Chiang Kai-Shek and the Birth of Modern China. Crease to corner front cover. Beautiful, powerful and sexy, Madame Chainag Kai-shek was at the centre of one of the twentith century's greatest dramas: the founding of modern China. Hers is an epic story that begins with a revolution that eclipsed the monarchy, through WWII, ending in eventual loss to the Communists and exile. Madame Chiang was an extraordinary infulential woman whose family was largely responsible for dragging China into the modern world. As her husband - a dogmatic warlord who became Generalissimo - came to represent the hopes of the West in the East, she was uniquely positioned to act as his adviser, translator, secretary and loyal companion, and found herself on the world stage with Roosevelt and Churchill. A savvy politician, she remained a popular if controversial figure both at home and abroad - one who managed to shape modern history.
