This book explores the challenges which faced the United States and
Taiwanese alliance during the Cold War, addressing a wide range of
events and influences of the period between the 1950s and 1970s.
Tackling seven main topics to outline the fluctuations of the
U.S.–Taiwan relationship, this volume highlights the impact of
the mainland counteroffensive, the offshore islands, Tibet,
Taiwan’s secret operations in Asia, Taiwan’s Soviet and nuclear
gambits, Chinese representation in the United Nations, and the
Vietnam War. Utilizing multinational archival research,
particularly the newly available materials from Taiwan and the
United States, to reevaluate Taiwan’s foreign policy during the
Cold War, revealing a pragmatic and opportunistic foreign policy
disguised in nationalistic rhetoric. Moreover, this study
represents a departure from previous scholarship, emphasizing the
dictatorial and incompetent nature of the Chinese Nationalist
regime, to provide fresh insights into the nature of U.S.–Taiwan
relations. Presenting a revisionist view of one of the strongest
bilateral relationships of the Cold War, this will be an insightful
resource for scholars and students of Chinese and East Asia
History, Cold War History, Asian Studies, and International
Relations.
