"Steven Phillips is to be congratulated for tackling a difficult and politically sensitive topic in a scholarly, perceptive and insightful manner that enhances both Taiwan studies and China studies."--The China Journal
"This book is both a great case study in the tensions between local and national level politics in Republican China, and an excellent investigation into a formative period in Taiwan politics...It should be read by anyone interested in the political history of either Taiwan or the Republic of China."--China Quarterly
