| book description |

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 go 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. Drawing on over a decade of Horton's life and reportage in Taiwan, Ghost Nation unravels the complexity of this thriving democracy and technological powerhouse. Exploring the ghosts of Taiwanâ€™s past, a history haunted by colonization and political turmoil, Horton interviews influential figures and everyday citizens to provide a panoramic view of this fascinating country. As Taiwan grapples with its identity and dreams of international recognition, this riveting and empathetic account will leave readers with a profound appreciation for Taiwanâ€™s history and people.
