More on the White Terror in Taiwan - Hardcover

by Daniel Nardini (Author)

In his second book on the White Terror, Nardini describes a dystopian society where even an innocent mistake could be interpreted as an act against the government. Even though there was an opposition party, the ruling Nationalist Party of China was for the last two years of the Terror still in charge of the government, the armed forces, the police, and the prison system. Dissent was not tolerated, and was severely punished. The society created by decades of the White Terror was a nightmare so bad and dark there was no way to escape it. In the end, the society that had been created by the White Terror had to be gradually dismantled and replaced with a more open, just and democratic one that has made Taiwan one of the most democratic and free countries in Asia today. Nardini's book is a cautionary tale of what should never be forgotten.
