Abstract

"For centuries the island of Taiwan, 100 miles off the Asian mainland, has been a cross-roads for traders and settlers, pirates and military schemers from around the world. Unlike China, with its long tradition of keeping foreigners out, Taiwan has a long history of interaction, both hostile and friendly, with other seafaring nations near and far. 'Maritime Taiwan' captures the full drama and details of this remarkable history. [It] also discusses the significant impact of American military, economic, educational, and technological aid on Taiwan's development, and addresses the island's continued importance in maintaining the U.S. hegemony in East Asia."--Publisher description.
