Book review: Shining a light on Taiwan
David Pendery’s latest book is an excellent, well-informed, balanced and very clearly written look at what makes Taiwan unique
By Bradley Winterton / Contributing reporter
In Taiwan A Light in the East David Pendery aims to create “a systematic, relevant and in essence scholarly (if somewhat easygoing and personal) study of important issues and topics in Taiwan.”
In my review of an earlier Pendery book, Something Super (the Taipei Times, April 2, 2013), I said that the book had two heroes, Taiwan and the author himself. This time the emphasis is firmly on Taiwan. Pendery is very interested in politics, though admitting his “Chinese skills are not advanced enough that I can read political news in every newspaper and understand every statement that politicians make.”
