The Vitality of Taiwan Reviews

Steve Tsang was able to bring together a group of noted Taiwan scholars... each in their own field, [describe] how the society broke through the vestiges of the old authoritarian regime, and brought about a dynamism, exuberance and creativity that was unheard of just a couple of decades ago... In all, a very valuable contribution to the understanding of where Taiwan came from, and where its people want to go. Gerrit van der Wees
