Parks Coble recently shared about his process and findings as a Hoover Institution Research Fellow studying Chiang Kai-shek's China.

"In 1943 Chiang Kai-shek was one of the “Big Four” allied leaders, meeting with FDR and Churchill in Cairo," Coble wrote. "Yet only six years later, Chiang had suffered an ignominious defeat at the hands of his arch enemies, the Chinese Communists, and fled to the island of Taiwan.  How did Chiang fall so far so fast?"
