The Struggle for Taiwan: A History of America, China, and the Island Caught Between by Sulmaan Wasif Khan

informative medium-paced

4.0

This book fell in an interesting place between academic nonfiction and general nonfiction which I enjoyed. The author wrote well and not much jargon was used. The book could have benefitted from more subheadings within its long chapters and a bit more consistency in the time line. Another way the book could have improved the as by detailing how governance of Taiwanese citizens has worked — how PRC legislation and policies effected the daily lives of Taiwanese people. Overall, this was a highly informative book about the US governments role in PRC-ROC relations over the past century or so.
