In 1949, when he was defeated by Mao Zedong, he fled to Taiwan, where he ruled for another twenty-five years. Playing a key role in the cold war with China, Chiang suppressed opposition with his "white terror," controlled inflation and corruption, carried out land reform, and raised personal income, health, and educational levels on the island. --from publisher description   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 951.042 Chiang Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Biography B Chiang Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Biography B CHIANG Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Chiang Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList
