作者：TAYLOR, JAY 出版社：HARVARD UNIV PR 出版日期：2000年10月15日 語言：英文 ISBN：0674002873 裝訂：精裝 內容簡介TOP 蔣經國是誰？這個問題充滿了弔詭。這個名字在台灣絕對是家喻戶曉，以致於這個問題顯得十分愚蠢。但是另一方面，我們對這個熟悉名字的背後，卻又是如此陌生。 他是遠赴俄國、經過 13 年共產主義洗禮的熱血青年，也是嫉惡如仇、在上海打老虎的蔣專員；他掌控了台灣的情治系統，國民政府的白色恐怖中，可見他的身影，但他也是親民愛民的蔣院長，晚年又推動民主改革、開放大陸探親的蔣總統。 在這麼多互相矛盾的形象中，到底哪一個比較接近的真實的蔣經國？經過李登輝主政 12 年，新台灣人又要如何重新評價蔣經國對台灣的貢獻？ 陶涵（JAY TAYLOR）這本《蔣經國傳》（THE GENERALISSIMO’S SON）是目前最新、最完整的蔣經國傳記，由時報出版與美國哈佛大學出版社同步出版中、英文版。陶涵先後任職美國駐華大使館、國務院情報處副處長，現在是「費正清中心」研究員。 照理來說，這麼一本評傳實在不應由美國人來撰寫。但是陶涵的美國人身分，卻使他比較能跳脫台灣島內政治情緒、立場、意識形態的糾葛，來評價蔣經國，而陶涵也的確做的相當出色，他在敘述蔣經國大陸時期的經歷，對於蔣經國性格的剖析，有相當精到的看法。 而且由於陶涵本身的職務與美國對台政策相當熟習，加上近年來解密的外交文件，使得陶涵在敘述蔣經國在台灣的歲月，能挑筋剔肉，勾勒出蔣經國與台灣的命運之間的關連。書中所爆的中、台、美三角關係在冷戰時期的內幕，其精彩程度遠遠超過前一陣喧騰一時的「密使案」。 以上因素都使得這本《蔣經國傳》成為一本有見地、有深度的傳記，在十年之內，恐怕任何一本類似的著作都不可能出現超越它。★本書中文版由「時報出版」出版。 CHIANG CHING-KUO, SON AND POLITICAL HEIR OF GENERALISSIMO CHIANG KAI-SHEK, WAS BORN IN 1910, WHEN CHINESE WOMEN, NEARLY ALL ILLITERATE, HOBBLED ABOUT ON BOUND FEET AND MEN WORE PIGTAILS AS SYMBOLS OF SUBSERVIENCE TO THE MANCHU DYNASTY. IN HIS YOUTH CHING-KUO WAS A COMMUNIST AND A TROTSKYITE, AND HE LIVED TWELVE YEARS IN RUSSIA. HE DIED IN 1988 AS THE LEADER OF TAIWAN, A CHINESE SOCIETY WITH A FLOURISHING CONSUMER ECONOMY AND A BUDDING BUT ALREADY WILD, WOOLLY, AND OPEN DEMOCRACY. HE WAS AN ACTOR IN MANY OF THE EVENTS OF THE LAST CENTURY THAT SHAPED THE HISTORY OF CHINA’S STRUGGLES AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE MODERN ERA: THE SURGE OF NATIONALISM AMONG CHINESE YOUTH, THE GRAND APPEAL OF MARXISM-LENINISM, THE TERRIBLE BATTLE AGAINST FASCIST JAPAN, AND THE LONG, DESTRUCTIVE CIVIL WAR BETWEEN THE NATIONALISTS AND THE COMMUNISTS. IN 1949, HE FLED TO TAIWAN WITH HIS FATHER AND TWO MILLION NATIONALISTS. HE LED THE BRUTAL SUPPRESSION OF DISSENT ON THE ISLAND AND WAS A MAJOR PLAYER IN THE COLD, SOMETIMES HOT WAR BETWEEN COMMUNIST CHINA AND AMERICA. BY REACTING TO CHANGING ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL DYNAMICS ON TAIWAN, SINO-AMERICAN RAPPROCHEMENT, DENG XIAOPING’S SWEEPING REFORMS ON THE MAINLAND, AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL EVENTS, HE LED TAIWAN ON A ZIGZAG BUT ULTIMATELY SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION FROM DICTATORSHIP TO DEMOCRACY. JAY TAYLOR UNDERSCORES THE INTERACTION OF POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS ON THE MAINLAND AND IN TAIWAN AND CONCLUDES THAT IF CHINA EVER MAKES A SIMILAR TRANSITION, IT WILL OWE MUCH TO THE TAIWAN EXAMPLE AND THE GENERALISSIMO’S SON. |
