Summary
The gripping story of Taiwan's past and precarious present from one of Taiwan's top foreign correspondents.
Following the war in Ukraine, all eyes have turned to Taiwan as the next possible geopolitical tinderbox. Yet. while it lies at the epicentre of China and the USA's tense relationship, its story and its people are overlooked and misunderstood. In Ghost Nation, leading journalist Chris Horton will uncover why this disputed country has become so critical to the world's future.
As Taiwan grapples with its identity and dreams of international recognition, the stakes could not be higher. This vibrant democracy and tech giant, perched precariously on the fault lines of global power, might not only shape the future of Asia but also ignite the fuse of World War III.
Drawing on over a decade of Horton's life and reportage in Taiwan, Ghost Nation features interviews with everyday citizens and influential figures to provide a panoramic view of this fascinating country. This riveting and empathetic account will leave readers with a profound appreciation for Taiwan’s history and people.
