內容簡介

內容簡介 一部關於台灣過去與未來的扣人心弦的記述在第二次世界大戰結束時席捲亞洲的巨大混亂中，一個相對次要的問題是日本殖民地台灣的未來。這個距離福建海岸約一百英里的大島，被移交給了國民黨統治下的中華民國。直到 1949 年，隨著包括蔣介石總統在內的、被擊敗的國民黨各界人士為躲避毛澤東勝利的共產黨軍隊而逃亡至此，台灣突然成為了全球關注的焦點。《台灣的掙扎》以平衡且令人信服的方式，記述了這一系列事件，這些事件使台灣數代以來一直是一個政治上的反常現象，其地位和未來問題持續威脅著戰爭的爆發。隨著民主化不斷深化，儘管習近平大聲疾呼要統一，但台灣仍功能性地獨立於中國，進一步激怒了北京。這本極具價值的書讓讀者能夠理解這個獨特地方的複雜故事及其在國際關係中的作用。憑藉其驚人的經濟活力和對民主的承諾，台灣能否像曾經的香港一樣，繼續繁榮發展，還是會被中國征服？世界能否維持台海兩岸的和平，還是會失足走向戰爭？'A rigorously researched and gripping account... a beautifully written book' Financial Times'Deeply researched and fascinating' GuardianA gripping account of the past and future of TaiwanIn the overwhelming chaos across Asia at the end of the Second World War, one relatively minor issue was the future of the Japanese colony of Taiwan, a large island some one hundred miles off the coast of Fujian. Handed to the Kuomintang-ruled Republic of China, in 1949 it suddenly became the focus of global attention as a random cross-section of defeated Nationalists, including President Chiang Kai-shek, fled there from Mao's triumphant Communist forces.The Struggle for Taiwan is a balanced and convincing account of the sequence of events that has left Taiwan for generations as a political anomaly, with issues around its status and future continuing to threaten war. With deepening democratization, Taiwan further goads Beijing, remaining functionally independent from China even as Xi Jinping clamours for unification.This invaluable book allows readers to understand the complex story of this unique place and its role in international relations. With its striking economic dynamism and commitment to democracy, can Taiwan continue - as Hong Kong once did - to thrive, or will China conquer it? And will the world be able to maintain peace across the Taiwan Strait or will it stumble into war?
