title: American Justice in Taiwan: The 1957 Riots and Cold War Foreign Policy (Studies In Conflict Diplomacy Peace)
author: Stephen G. Craft
description: "An excellent microhistory of an intrinsically interesting series of events: the murder of a Taiwanese civilian by an American serviceman, his subsequent trial, and the riots that followed his acquittal. . . . [It] makes significant contributions to the history of U.S. relations with Taiwan, to the history of the Cold War in Asia, and to the history of US overseas forces."Robert McMahon, editor of <i>The Cold War in the Third World</i>
