from Simon & Schuster
Price: $17.94

Customer Review:
A good biography tells a good story. With grace and great sympathetic imagination Hannah Pakula gives us a flesh and blood heroine, never a mere historical figure. For all that she is aware of her subject's faults, she does justice to her courage, her wit, and her sheer endurance. Thanks to its epic... more info

from Belknap Press of Harvard University Press
Price: $21.94

Customer Review:
The penetrating insight in the sentence Taylor concluded this masterful treatise, that "The vision that drives modern China in the twenty-first century is that of Chiang Kai-shek, not Mao Zedong" sets this biography apart.

4.Forbidden Nation: A History of TaiwanForbidden Nation: A History of Taiwan
from Palgrave Macmillan
Price: $21.84

Customer Review:
The book has a lot of detail, but it surprised me to see that there was quite a bit of detail on the 2004 presidential election for a Western author. Take this part of the book with a grain of salt for sure. As any reader can see, the author supports the DPP point of view on Taiwan's history as well... more info

7.Chiang Kai-Shek: China s Generalissimo and the Nation He LostChiang Kai-Shek: China's Generalissimo and the Nation He Lost
from Da Capo Press
Price: $9.76

Customer Review:
While the author seems dispassionate and measured enough, there is the hard reality that the documentary base on which to make a judgement about Chiang's character and career is sparse. This means that there are times when the record seems so lurid that one has to wonder what was really happening.... more info

This is one of the most complete books on Taiwan and its history available in the English language. The reading is dense in places and is highly academic, but for anyone who has a background in Taiwan's history and wants to get in depth, this would the volume for you.

Customer Review:
"The "one China" policy officially supported by the People's Republic of China, the United States, and other countries asserts that there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of it." The Description of this book is Misleading.
