A concise, definitive history of the precarious relationship among the US, China, and TaiwanAs tensions over Taiwan escalate, the United States and China stand on the brink of a catastrophic war. Resolving the impasse demands we understand how it began. In 1943, the Allies declared that Japaneseheld Taiwan would return to China at the conclusion of World War II. The Chinese civil war led to a change of plans. The Communist Party came to power in China and the defeated Nationalist leader, Chiang Kaishek, fled to Taiwan, where he was afforded US protection. The specter of conflict has loomed ever since.In The Struggle for Taiwan, Sulmaan Wasif Khan offers the first comprehensive history of the triangular relationship between the United States, China, and Taiwan, exploring Americas ambivalent commitment to Taiwans defense, Chinas bitterness about the separation, and Taiwans impressive transformation into a flourishing democracy. War is not inevitable, Khan shows, but to avoid it, decisionmakers must heed the lessons of the past.From the White Terror to the Taiwan Straits Crises, from the normalization of SinoAmerican relations to Trumpera rising tensions, The Struggle for Taiwan charts the paths to our present predicament to show what futures might be possible.
