Description
Taiwan: a place with its own flag, currency, government and military, but which most of the world does not recognise as a sovereign country.
An island that China regards as a 'rebellious province', but which has managed to survive defiantly for decades.
Now with its neighbour China a major power on the world stage and ally United States looking increasingly inward, Taiwan's position has never been more precarious. Kerry Brown and Kalley Wu Tzu-hui reveal how the island's shifting fortunes have been shaped by centuries of conquest and by a cast of dynamic characters, by Cold War intrigue and the rise of its neighbour as a global power, explaining how this tiny island, caught between the agendas of two superpowers, is attempting to find its place in a rapidly changing world order.
