From the reader's report: 'The author has given us a very, very wonderful book that many, I would hope, would read and take to heart. What he writes about is a major moment in modern Taiwan's history and many should know it and what it has meant to the later evolution of Taiwan's state and society-and place in the world. The book is very unique and useful piece of scholarship.' Murray A. Rubinstein, Senior Research Scholar, Weatherhead Institute, Columbia University 'Jacob's latest effort, The Kaohsiung Incident in Taiwan and Memoirs of a Foreign Big Beard, is geared toward academics or people with a specific interest in Taiwanese history and politics who would probably find the entire book interesting or at least valuable. But the second half of the book, which contains Jacobs' memoir, is so much more engaging, unique and personal that it could make a fun read for anybody. It is almost a shame to put it last.'
