Book Review

Amerika to Nikka Kowa (America and the Japan-Taiwan peace treaty). By Kokukin En. (Tokyo: Kashiwa Shobo, 2001. 282 pp. ¥3,000,ISBN 4-7601-2055-6.) In Japanese.

Since the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War in 1949, the status of Taiwan has been an explosive issue between the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) and consequently in the entire region of East Asia. Studies in the United States and Japan have demonstrated how the Cold War dictated U.S. priorities in peace making between the two former adversaries, Japan, then under U.S. occupation (1945–1952), and the Republic of China (ROC), led by Jiang Jieshi, who fled to Taiwan in 1949. Kokukin En, utilizing newly available primary and secondary sources in Chinese, Japanese, and English, especially Japanese and Taiwanese government documents, offers a reexamination of the peace-making process between Japan and the ROC from the perspective of the triangular interrelations among the United States, Japan, and the ROC.
