About this listen

Discover the remarkable life of Chiang Kai-shek...
There are moments in history when two different people who have two completely different visions of the future rise to prominence at the same time and in the same exact place. The Chinese Civil War, which saw Chiang Kai-shek and his rival Mao Zedong fighting for the future of China, is a great case in point. Chiang believed that China should modernize and embrace capitalism. Mao, however, believed that communist doctrine would be the true salvation for the Chinese masses.

Chiang Kai-shek eventually lost the battle for the mainland but forged ahead in Taiwan. China’s so-called breakaway province of Taiwan is still thriving, and they owe it all to Chiang Kai-shek. This is his life—this is his story.

Discover a plethora of topics such as

  • Early Life
  • Revolution and Counter-Revolution
  • Facing off against Mao Zedong
  • World War II: Taking on the Japanese
  • Building the Island Fortress of Taiwan
