When World War II ended Chiang Kai-shek seemed at the height of his
power-the leader of Nationalist China, one of the victorious Allied
Powers in 1945 and with the financial backing of the US. Yet less
than four years later, he lost the China's civil war against the
communists. Offering an insightful chronological treatment of the
years 1944-1949, Parks Coble addresses why Chiang was unable to win
the war and control hyperinflation. Using newly available archival
sources, he reveals the critical weakness of Chiang's style of
governing, the fundamental structural flaws in the Nationalist
government, bitter personal rivalries and Chiang's personal lack of
interest in finance. This major work of revisionist scholarship
will engage all those interested in the shaping of
twentieth-century history.
