Madame Chiang Kai-shek

Madame Chiang Kai-shek

Madame Chiang Kai-shek, a pivotal figure in one of the 20th century's great epics—the struggle for control of post-imperial China waged between the Nationalists and the Communists during the Japanese invasion and the violent aftermath of World War II—died on Thursday in Manhattan, the Foreign Ministry of Taiwan reported yesterday. She was 105.
