| Description: |
Chiang's classic work, first published in 1947, examines the challenges facing the modernization of China - from the humiliation of the unequal treaties, through to the struggles of the first half of the twentieth century. |
| Synopsis: |
Chiang's two classic works were first published as a combined volume in English in 1947 (the original Chinese version of China's Destiny - by far the larger work - first appeared in 1943 selling over a million copies), examine the challenges facing the modernization (and new economic foundation) of China - from the humiliation of the unequal treaties, through to the struggles of the first half of the twentieth century, including the problem of `establishing a philosophy of revolution and reconstruction'. The volume is annotated and introduced by Philip Jaffe with an extensive essay entitled `The Secrets of China's Destiny' where he sets out the history and writing of the two books, arguing that `...what happens to China is of vital importance to world peace and prosperity, but it is not so easy to evaluate the conflicting forces and contradictory trends in present-day China.' Jaffe was an apologist for Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang China and was prosecuted (unsuccessfully) on espionage and subversion charges in 1945 as editor of the pro-Communist magazine Amerasia. |
