Ryan is 45% done with Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan
It’s okay. Getting more interesting as it enters late 30s and into 1940 but I’m not as into it as I’d hoped.

Ryan is 35% done with Victorious in Defeat: The Life and Times of Chiang Kai-shek, China, 1887-1975
Very good so far. Probably one of least biased biographies on Chiang that is accessible to those without a super academic background on modern Chinese history. Though It is difficult to keep track with the audiobook when much of the text is “place, name, place, time, name, place, name, date, name, name”
