Emily Hill is the editor and a co-author of a new book on Chiang Kai-shek카지노 게임 컬렉션™s decision-making during the fifteen-year period when his political influence was at its peak, including the invasion of China by Japan, eight years of anti-Japanese war, and the civil war against forces of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that ended disastrously for Chiang and his government. Drawing more fully on Chiang Kai-shek카지노 게임 컬렉션™s own writing than any existing book-length study in English, seven chapters analyze major episodes in Chiang Kai-shek카지노 게임 컬렉션™s career, examining Chiang카지노 게임 컬렉션™s reflections and decisions in a series of critical situations from 1935 to 1950, when he was closest to the center of major events in Chinese and world history. The work reveals that Chiang카지노 게임 컬렉션™s ability to improvise was an important foundation of his achievements, and that he prepared for action during his daily routine of diary writing. Chiang카지노 게임 컬렉션™s daily reflections enabled his versatile responses to wide-ranging challenges. Overcoming personal limitations, that contributed to setbacks and failures on occasion, Chiang Kai-shek repeatedly ensured his political survival through astute improvisation.
Professor Hill supervises MA and PhD students working on the history of China since the late nineteenth century.
