Octavo, string bound silk wrapped boards (hardcover), x + 119 pp. Good+, with wear to spine and sunning to edges, slight foxing (age darkened spotting). From Foreword: For the sheer thrill of danger, romance, calm courage and dramatic climax, these two documents have all the fascinating interest of a historical novel. But this is immensely intensified when it is realized that they are the authoritative records of actual happenings only a few months ago while the fate of a great nation was literally trembling in the balance and the whole world was awaiting the outcome with puzzled bewilderment and ancious forebodings. Madame Chiang describes her part in this sensational occurrence while the incidents are still fresh in her memory and in doing so unconsciously reveals a wifely devotion, a woman's intuitive understanding of the basic issues and a superb heroism which are the more convincing because written with so objective a purpose to give the simple facts. Asian History, Asia, Sian, China, Chinese.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Shanghai: The China Publishing Company, 1937. 1st edition. x + 119pp. 8vo. Scarlet cloth, gilt lettering on front cover. Bound in traditional Chinese style. Printed on hand-made bamboo paper. Chiang Kai-Shek?s calligraphy on the front cover. Very good. The Chinese leader and his wife's account of their kidnapping in Xian in 1936. "The Incident is doubtless one of the most sensational episodes in modern history and many people still view the event with excitement, regret, and indignation. While the dramatic capture of Chiang Kai-shek and his abrupt release have already mystified many, the negotiated settlement and the aftermath of the Incident remain largely in speculation. Apart from the coup itself, the Sian Incident was the pivotal point in modern Chinese history, so crucial in fact to the survival of the Chinese Communist movement that even today Nationalist writ- ers and officials in Taiwan denounce the Young Marshal Chang Hslieh- liang for having done unforgivable and irreparable damage to the na- tion. They argue, as did Chiang Kai-shek himself, that the Red Army, then numbering approximately 30,000 men and cornered in the inhospitable North Shensi, would have been doomed to destruction, had the Sian Incident not occurred to ruin the whole plan for its ex- termination." (Quoting: The Sian Incident: A Pivotal Point in Modern Chinese History by Tien-wei Wu).
