America's Security and Taiwan's Freedom

About the Book

“The greatest threat to the U.S.’s homeland security is not a terrorist attack with a dirty bomb; it is an unexpected nuclear Pearl Harbor.” —author “Taiwan’s democratic achievement and vision of the future . . . are consistent with the American experience. Will Beijing eventually follow such a course? Decisions are still to be made, and there are limits to how effectively the U.S. can influence these decisions. But we can and we must continue to support Taiwan. Its security is ultimately our security. Of that we can be sure.” —the late Congressman Gerald B. H. Solomon Lí explains how America’s security hinges on Taiwan’s survival as an independent democracy.
