Reviews
"In its depth of research, its command of the field, and its assured, fast-moving pace, The Struggle for Taiwan is an extraordinary book."-- Paul Kennedy, author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, "Thought-provoking...Perhaps the most powerful lesson of Khan's book concerns agency. Repeatedly, Khan reminds readers that the path to the present was not inevitable but was rather the product of choices made by leaders in Beijing, Taipei, and Washington. That history should serve as both a cautionary tale and motivation for leaders in all three capitals."-- Foreign Affairs

Synopsis
A concise, definitive history of the precarious relationship among the US, China, and Taiwan Named a Best Book of 2024 by the New Statesman * BBC History Magazine As 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 Japanese-held 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 Kai-shek, 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 America's ambivalent commitment to Taiwan's defense, China's bitterness about the separation, and Taiwan's impressive transformation into a flourishing democracy. War is not inevitable, Khan shows, but to avoid it, decision-makers must heed the lessons of the past. From the White Terror to the Taiwan Straits Crises, from the normalization of Sino-American relations to Trump-era rising tensions, The Struggle for Taiwan charts the paths to our present predicament to show what futures might be possible., A concise, definitive history of the precarious relationship among the US, China, and Taiwan Named a Best Book of 2024 by the New Statesman As tensions over Taiwan escalate, the United States and China stand on the brink of a catastrophic war.
