{"product_id":"the-struggle-for-taiwan","title":"The Struggle for Taiwan","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the overwhelming chaos across Asia at the end of the Second World War, one relatively minor issue was the future of the Japanese colony of Taiwan, a large island some one hundred miles off the coast of Fujian. Handed to the Kuomintang-ruled Republic of China, in 1949 it suddenly became the focus of global attention as a random cross-section of defeated nationalists, including President Chiang Kai-shek, fled there from Mao's triumphant Communist forces. 'The Struggle for Taiwan' is a balanced and convincing account of the sequence of events that has left Taiwan for generations as a political anomaly, with issues around its status and future continuing to threaten war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57181657792886,"sku":"9781802064421","price":10.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9857\/1159\/files\/9781802064421.jpg?v=1769864107","url":"https:\/\/bookbag.mom\/products\/the-struggle-for-taiwan","provider":"Bookbag Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
