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.
