_____________________________

This book is about the ways in which the United States relationship with Nationalist China served U.S. policy interests in Asia during the 1950s and 1960s. It attempts to weigh the various components of the U.S.-Nationalist relation in terms of their utility, or their disservice, to U.S. policy objectives. The thesis of this study is that the United States relationship with the Nationalist regime on Taiwan was an important and valuable element of U.S. strategy in Asia during the two decades between 1950 and 1971. U.S. leaders of that era believed that this was the case, and a dispassionate retrospective judgment leads to a similar conclusion. The multifaceted U.S. alliance with the Nationalist regime on Taiwan played an important role in U.S. strategy for splitting the Sino-Soviet bloc and containing the revolutionary expansion of China during the early Cold War era in Asia.
