Laura Tyson Li devoted years of research to Madame Chiang Kai-shek, with access to materials previously classified or unavailable. She is a Dartmouth College graduate, and now lives in New York City. Since her first trip to China in 1982, she has spent a decade living in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, during which she was variously a student, business reporter for the South China Morning Post, and Taiwan correspondent for the Financial Times. She has also written articles for the Economist and other publications. She is the author of Madame Chiang Kai-shek: China's Eternal First Lady , the first English-language biography of one of the world's most influential, colorful, and controversial women in modern history. Madame Chiang's life (1897-2003) spanned the twentieth century, much of it lived at the epicenter of events not only in the turbulent history of modern China, but in the epic struggles -- World War Two, the Cold War – that engulfed the world for much of the twentieth century.
Copies of the book will be available for sale.
