Specificatii
The most feared man in China, Dai Li, was chief of Chiang
Kai-shek's secret service during World War II. This sweeping
biography of China's Himmler, based on recently opened intelligence
archives, traces Dai's rise from obscurity as a rural hooligan and
Green Gang blood-brother to commander of the paramilitary units of
the Blue Shirts and of the dreaded Military Statistics Bureau: the
world's largest spy and counterespionage organization of its time.
In addition to exposing the inner workings of the secret police,
whose death squads, kidnappings, torture, and omnipresent
surveillance terrorized critics of the Nationalist regime, Dai Li's
personal story opens a unique window on the clandestine history of
China's Republican period. This study uncovers the origins of the
Cold War in the interactions of Chinese and American special
services operatives who cooperated with Dai Li in the resistance to
the Japanese invasion in the 1930s and who laid the groundwork for
an ongoing alliance against the Communists during the revolution
that followed in the 1940s. Frederic Wakeman Jr. illustrates how
the anti-Communist activities Dai Li led altered the balance of
power within the Chinese Communist Party, setting the stage for Mao
Zedong's rise to supremacy. He reveals a complex and remarkable
personality that masked a dark presence in modern China--one that
still pervades the secret services on both sides of the Taiwan
Strait. Wakeman masterfully illuminates a previously
little-understood world as he discloses the details of Chinese
secret service trade-craft. Anyone interested in the development of
modern espionage will be intrigued by Spymaster, which spells out
in detail the ways in which the Chinese used their own traditional
methods, in addition to adapting foreign ways, to create a modern
intelligence service.
