| book description |

Russiaâ€™s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world and overturned assumptions that large-scale conventional war was inconceivable in the 21st century. On the other side of the planet, democratic Taiwan faces the rising threat of a military takeover by China - a conflict whose impact on the international community would be catastrophic. Â Renowned Taiwan expert and former intelligence officer J. Michael Cole explains how this Pacific nation has become a tinderbox that could ignite a full-scale global conflict. Drawing on unparalleled access to Taiwanese government sources and two decades of on-the-ground observation, he explores the root causes of the conflict between Taiwan and China - from the identity politics that make â€œpeaceful unificationâ€ inconceivable, to the rise of Xi Jinping, the most powerful and authoritarian Chinese leader since Mao Zedong.Â With in-depth analysis of how the war in Europe is influencing preparations by Beijing, Taipei, and Washington for a potential cross-strait confrontation,Â The Taiwan TinderboxÂ is an impassioned plea for the defense of Taiwan as a priority for the international community and the future of democracy.
