Book Recommendations on Taiwanese History

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone had any good book recommendations on the history of Taiwan (KMT, WWII, etc.) or anything else related to Taiwan, doesnt have to be non-fiction. Looking for somewhat easy to digest history books.

Thanks,
Jeff

That’s a great list.

One of those links at the bottom is to a Forumosa thread, but it’s broken. Any idea what happened to it?

Brill will publish encyclopedia on Taiwan.

Brill’s decision is a response to the growing demand for Taiwan-related research in the global community from academics, researchers, and those interested in Taiwan. The 300-year-old publishing house invited Michael Hsiao (蕭新煌), Academia Sinica Institute of Sociology adjunct research fellow, to be the editor-in-chief of the encyclopedia in September 2020.
