Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Taiwan published the diaries of former Republic of China leader Chiang Kai-shek as a form of "social reconciliation and progress" following a protracted legal battle for their return from the United States.
The seven-volume collection chronicles Kai-shek's life from his first term as president and the period during which he retreated to Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, after the Chinese Civil War, according to the South China Morning Post.
