Faligot, Roger; Kauffer, Remi; Donougher, Christine (translator)
Chinese Secret Service: Kang Sheng & the Shadow Government in Red China.
Ist U.S. edition. 527 pp, large 8vo (9 7/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. Map endpapers, b&w photos. "For half a century, Kang Sheng was master of the shadow kingdom that is 'Tewu', the Chinese Secret Service.(his) story necessarily broadens into a history of the Chinese Secret Service, from its inception in Shanghai in the 1920's to the current age of industrial espionage and terrorism. On the large scale, the subject of this book is the shaping of modern China. The break in Sino-Soviet relations was Kang Sheng's work, in large part, and his Orwellian Campaign of Rectification foreshadowed the unparalleled slaughter of the Great Leap Forward in the 1950's. examine(s) the struggle for power between Mao and Chiang Kai-shek, the vast system of Maoist 'Laogai' (prison camps), the development of the Chinese atom bomb, and, in general, the undercurrent of violence in Chinese history, which surfaced most recently in the Tienanmen Square massacre."

Buddhadasa P. Kirthisinghe
Buddhism & Science
. ISBN: 8120808037 pp. xii + 163, Index,8vo The author has shown remarkably well how the revolutionary theories of Charles Darwin and other blend with the Dharma (Buddha's teachings). Neither the evolutionists nor the Buddhists recognize that the world, or even the mighty universe, was created by a God. Thus, the rejection of an Atta (Soul) by the Buddhists fascinates the evolutionists : if man has a soul, then the animals should have had it first they claim.
