Note 2 — Chapter IX · SUN YAT-SEN AND CHIANG K'AI-SHEK
Reading edition
Linebarger, Paul [M. W.], Sun Yat-sen and the Chinese Republic, New York and London, 1925, p. 176; this is the authorized life of Sun Yat-sen, written much as he wished it. The standard critical biography is Sharman, Lyon, Sun Yat-sen: His Life and Its Meaning, New York, 1934. Sun Yat-sen also wrote a number of short autobiographies, some of which are deliberately inexact. Western language material on Sun is surveyed in an annotated bibliography appended to the present author's The Political Doctrines of Sun Yat-sen, Baltimore, 1937, p. 265 ff. A work which has since appeared is "Sagittarius," The Strange Apotheosis of Sun Yat-sen, London, 1939.
