Kerry Brown is one of our most perceptive and accurate foreign observers of China -- John Simpson A thorough and nuanced analysis of Taiwan’s history, present and potential future -- Michael Booth, author of The Almost Nearly Perfect People If you want to understand the twenty-first century, you need to understand Taiwan. And if you want to understand Taiwan, you need to read this book. A compelling synthesis of the issue by an expert in the field -- Elliot Ackerman, author of The Fifth Act: America’s End in Afghanistan Kerry Brown’s The Taiwan Story is a factual, thoughtful and very well-written account of Taiwan at a crucial time not just for the Taiwanese, but for all of us. The book’s subtitle – How a Small Island Will Dictate the Global Future – could not be more apposite. The book explains, with great clarity, both why and how -- Sir Malcolm Rifkind, former Foreign Secretary Brown is constantly interesting, always thoughtful, and refreshingly wise and knowing about China. He is also very readable -- Martin Jacques, author of When China Rules the World For those involved or just interested in international affairs, this is a readable and balanced primer on probably the most consequential global hotspot of our century -- Sir Nigel Sheinwald, former British Ambassador to the United States
