"Readers seeking a concise, lively, and comprehensive overview of Taiwan's political history may find Denny Roy's new text unrivaled. Whether one is devising a syllabus for a college course in which Taiwan is at issue or suggesting a slim volume to a general reader with a wish to locate Taiwan's current domestic and international dilemmas in a historical context, Roy's management and accessible book is most suitable."Alan M.
