27) China in Disintegration: The Republican Era in Chinese History, 1912-1949 by James Edward Sheridan this was given to me by a friend who found it in her local op-shop who knew my love of history and in particular the history of this period. While I did already know the basics it also filled in quite a few blanks in my understanding of this period in history of The Republic of China when they were still on the mainland. I’ve always believed that history isn’t entirely black and white, but has shades of grey and of course there are two sides to every story. This certainly is that, it also confirms to me the utter ineptitude of the KMT was apparent even right from its beginnings to now. Even today despite the 70 year exile on Taiwan they still harbour the desire to return even though it is not really the desire of the Taiwanese who are now generations removed from the era.
