Talk and Book Signing by Dr. Paul Tai, author of "How Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong Ruled China."
In China?s recent history, there have been two major leaders: Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong. How did these two men rule over a country with a population accounting for nearly a quarter of mankind for nearly fifty years? To answer this question, Dr. Tai examines their use of three instruments of governance: the use of the gun, the use of the pen, and a host of measures of power play.
