Boundaries of the Public Sphere in Ming and Qing China
Wang Yangming's doctrine of praxis was a powerful call for action in this world– a call that later exerted considerable influence upon the shishi who led the Meiji Restoration in Japan. In Wang's case, it reflected a life of action as a high Ming official engaged in dealing with the defiant minority tribesmen of the southwest, and in suppressing the rebellion of a Ming prince who dared to challenge the imperial throne. With the advent of the Manc…

SpymasterDai Li and the Chinese Secret Service
The most feared man in China, Dai Li, was chief of Chiang Kai-shek's secret service during World War II. This sweeping biography of “China's Himmler”, based on recently opened intelligence archives, traces Dai's rise from obscurity as a rural hooligan and Green Gang blood-brother to commander of the paramilitary units of the Blue Shirts and of the dreaded Military Statistics Bureau: the world's largest spy and counterespionage organization of its…
Strangers at the Gate
Now available again, this pioneering work examines one of the most controversial periods in Chinese history: the relationship between the Chinese civil and military authorities and the British trading community in Guangdong province on the eve of the Taiping Rebellion, one the most calamitous events in Chinese history. Wakeman shows how prevailing rural discontent, urban riots, secret society activity, and the imbalance of class and clan affected…
A Revisionist View of the Nanjing Decade
The foundation of this association has now been laid. People call us Blue Shirts or terrorists. That is nothing. The important problem to be solved is how to create a new revolutionary atmosphere so as to lead the revolutionary masses⃜ In China today definite action must be taken for temporary relief as well as for fundamental cure. However, what we need now is a fundamental cure. Our present problem is not the Japanese. Our problem is not the in…
Policing Shanghai, 1927-1937
Policing Shanghai, 1927-1937
Prewar Shanghai: casinos, brothels, Green Gang racketeers, narcotics syndicates, gun-runners, underground Communist assassins, Comitern secret agents. Frederic Wakeman's masterful study of the most colorful and corrupt city in the world at the time provides a panoramic view of the confrontation and collaboration between the Nationalist secret police and the Shanghai underworld. In detailing the life and politics of China's largest urban center du…
The Shanghai Badlands
Between August 1937 and December 1941, when the Chinese sectors of Shanghai were occupied by the Japanese, terrorist wars broke out between Nationalist secret agents and assassins of the Japanese military authorities. The most intensely disputed area was the western suburb, the Badlands, but warfare was not restricted to that zone. A spate of assassinations, bombings, and machine gun raids took place under the noses of the authorities. Thanks to …

Then I discovered that this skunk, this Dai Li fellow, had been the chief of the Chinese Police Academy in 1932-1937, and that was a police academy in the Hangchow area in East China that trained all the major police officers in the whole country of China. That's something like they believed in out there was having a National Police. It was sort of like a National Guard, I guess. But they were trained in police activities and they had many people…
The Great Enterprise
In classical Chinese, The Great Enterprise means winning The Mandate of heaven to rule over China, the Central Kingdom. This two-volume work on The Great Enterprise of the Manchus is the first scholarly narrative in any language relating their conquest of China during the seventeenth century

Revolutionary Rites
Romantics, Stoics, and Martyrs in Seventeenth-Century China
The rigors of the transition from Ming to Qing imposed harrowing moral choices upon Chinese elites during the 1600s. Some chose to collaborate uneasily with their Manchu conquerors. Others remained loyal to the Ming, even after all hope was lost for a restoration in the South. Yet a third group transferred its support from the fallen dynasty to the rising one, becoming so fiercely attached to the new rulers that its members were willing to endure…
The Canton trade and the Opium War
The essence of the Canton system by which China's European trade was regulated from 1760 to 1834 was hierarchic subordination: first, of the foreign traders to the licensed Chinese monopolists, known collectively as the 'Cohong'; and second, of the Cohong members to the imperially-appointed superintendent of maritime customs at Canton, known to Westerners as the 'Hoppo'. In legal-political terms, power was exerted downward in this hierarchy. The …
