It is a seminal work and is highly recommended to scholars and laymen alike who are interested in Taiwan’s approach to the world, and with that, the ‘hard’ issue of Taiwan’s role in US-China relations—arguably the most sensitive and most important of any in the world.' - John Copper, Pacific Affairs
