China and Taiwan

"Trying to understand the history of the China-Taiwan-US triangle is like getting through a maze. The issues are complex. Each government has its own particular policy framework. And there's a bewildering lexicon of terms. For the best guidebook through the maze, read Steve Goldstein's China and Taiwan."Richard C. Bush, Brookings"In a highly readable narrative, Steven Goldstein provides rare insights not only into current Taiwan society and cross-Strait relations but also the critical underlying historical background. No other source covers that ground so comprehensively yet so accessibly. China and Taiwan is required reading for anyone seeking to understand the challenges and opportunities ahead."Alan Romberg, The Stimson Center
