漢娜·帕庫拉
美國傳記作傢,其作品《最後的羅曼蒂剋:羅馬尼亞瑪麗女王傳》被著名的英國作傢格裏厄姆.格林稱為年度最佳的三本書之一;《不平凡的女人:腓特烈皇後》入圍瞭《洛杉磯時報》最佳圖書。目前,她住在紐約。
Beautiful, powerful and sexy, Madame Chiang Kai-shek was at the centre of one of the great dramas of the twentieth century: the founding of modern China, beginning with a revolution that swept away more than 2,000 years of monarchy, followed by the Second World War and ending in eventual loss to the Communists and exile in Taipei. An epic historical tapestry, this beautifully wrought narrative revolves around a fascinating, manipulative woman and her family: her father, a peasant who raised himself into Shanghai society and sent his daughters to college in America at a time when Chinese women were purposefully kept uneducated; her mother, an unlikely aristocratic Methodist from the Mandarin class; her husband, a dogmatic warlord who became Generalissimo of China; one sister, the wife of Sun Yat-sen; the other, married to the seventy-fifth lineal descendant of Confucius; and her older brother, a financial genius. This family, along with their partners in marriage, was largely responsible for dragging China into the modern world. Soong May-ling, or Madame Chiang as she was known, who died in 2003 at the age of 106, is uniquely positioned at the heart of this story. As her husband came to represent the hopes of the West in the East, she acted as his adviser, English translator, secretary, and most loyal champion, finding herself on the world stage with Franklin D Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. A savvy politician, she remained a popular if controversial figure both at home and abroad. Hannah Pakula brilliantly narrates the life of this extraordinary woman - how she charmed the United States out of billions of dollars while remaining dedicated to her China, and how she managed to influence if not change the history of the twentieth century.

宋美齡在中國近現代史上有五大曆史貢獻 第一是和平解決西安事變。高華說,西安事變發生後,南京國民政府大亂在如何營救蔣介石和如何對待張、楊的問題上,齣現瞭主戰、主和兩派的分化。而宋美齡以她的果斷和睿智,極力緩解國民黨各個方麵的緊張關係,最終使西安事變得...

評分本來是衝著書商在本書(英文原名《末代皇後》)(中文版)上麵印的所謂美國老政客基辛格的評價(本傳記是宋美齡的蓋棺論定權威之著)以及當當網商品廣告頁麵所謂“絕密資料首度曝光”的說法買下的,結果發現書裏好像幾乎沒有關於傳主宋美齡的新論! 作者好像隻是幾宋美齡的主...
評分能活三個世紀的女人,30歲纔結婚,一身沒有一個孩子,確實是搞政治的人最一流。還是比較值得女性一讀的書,一般男性就不要閱讀的好瞭。 外國人寫的傳記,第一夫人的一身就是一個國傢的曆史,特彆是抗戰時期在重慶的一段,本地確實還有不少地方值得一去瞭解曆史的。
評分作者雖收集瞭很多資料,卻帶著太多的主觀態度,擅自為讀者下定論。通篇基本都是批評,無論是共産黨還是國民黨,在作者眼中都是有手段,卑鄙為己欲的政治傢。我當然相信近代中國的政策很糟糕,但是完全抹殺蔣、宋的愛國心,也未免太功利主義瞭。作者大概是無信仰的人,身為美國...
圖書標籤: 傳記 宋美齡 曆史 美國 中國 蔣介石 政治 歷史
標注的價格貌似不對,應該是$20
評分和美齡關係不大,尤其是後來到颱灣失勢之後。但可以重新審讀一下美國嚴肅傳記作傢資料中的中國近代革命,北伐,抗日,內戰。
