I found out later he had his teeth knocked down his throat by the Communists in South China and he had them put back in, in gold. He had dark black hair and wide-set eyes, and when I used a pair of binoculars, I’d have to open them up to give them to him so he could use them. He was about five feet eight and a very pleasant man generally, but with delicate hands and I thought he was—well, a pansy, the way I first sized him up there, but I found out that he was a ruthless man, but personally, with him and me living in the same room much of the time with an interpreter, because he didn’t understand—orI didn’t understand his brand of Chinese, I found out that he was a very kind person and I liked him. He might have been a skunk and all those things—he might have been a witch or all of the things that they accused him of being, and an assassin, a poisoner, a saboteur of the first water, but I found out he was a great man in the Generalissimo’s field of vision and he liked him. He was the only man that was allowed in the Generalissimo’s bedroom armed at any time of day or night, and that showed a great deal of trust in China, if you know what that means. Anyone else that came even in Generalissimo’s Headquarters parked his gun at the entrance when he went in, but not Dai Li.  \nadmiral milton miles, Talk Before the Conference of the New York State Association of Police Chiefs, Schenectady, New York, July 24, 1957  \ncontents  \nacknowledgments / xi  \npreface / xiii abbreviations / xvii  \nmaps / xix  \n1.
