I read that book.

It is not objective. It is not a true history. It is not scholarly. Much is probably not true.

There are a lot of things to criticize Chiang Kai-shek's government and regimes about.

But Seagrave's sensationalist overkill tripe is shoddy.

It was polemic, not history.

A better historical book about what really happened to China would be professor Anthony Kubek's, How the Far East Was Lost: American Policy and the Creation of Communist China, 1941-1949.
