A pleasure to read What Lin does in this fine book is examine the confused situation that existed from 1949 to 1954, leading up to the [Chinese Nationalist Partys] realization that the game was up in China and the decision by the Americans to finally sign a formal treaty with Taipei. -- Bradley Winterton * Taipei Times * A model of rigorous scholarship and revisionist argument. Using a wide variety of primary materials, Lin shows the early Cold War in Asia was a time of fast and unexpected change and that the establishment of a new polity on Taiwan came about in highly contingent circumstances. This is a powerful and exciting argument to our understanding of modern Cold War and Chinese history. -- Rana Mitter, author of <i>Forgotten Ally: Chinas World War II, 19371945</i> This book provides an engaging account of the process by which Taiwan became the final redoubt of the Republic of China following Chiang Kai-sheks defeat in his civil war with the Communist Party of China. Under Lins skillful hands this seemingly straightforward story is revealed as a complicated Cold War tale of domestic and international intrigue, with consequences far beyond Taiwans emergence as an accidental state. -- Edward A. McCord, author of <i>Military Force and Elite Power in the Formation of Modern China</i>
