The book explores the historical context of the Taiwan Strait, particularly following the Nationalist retreat to Taiwan in 1949 and the formation of the Republic of China. It highlights key moments of tension, notably the Taiwan Strait crises of the 1950s, and examines the ongoing complexities of ROC and PRC relations. By focusing on the strategic importance of offshore islands like Quemoy and Matsu, the work offers insight into the current dynamics and significance of the Taiwan Strait in contemporary geopolitics.
