Reviews
"While the book is certainly aimed at baseball fans, it is also a good read for anyone wanting a unique look at 20th century Taiwanese history from an angle not usually covered in textbooks."-Mark Langer, Taipei Times
"[A] highly original exploration of Taiwan's political history from the Japanese occupation (1895-1945) to the present through the lens of baseball's development on the island."-Taiwan Review
"A worthwhile read."-Roberta Newman, NINE
"This book gives a thorough inside into Taiwanese baseball history and as such is an asset to all sport lovers, especially baseball lovers. Not only is it a good English-learning textbook for those who study PE/sport in Taiwan, it is also a good book for policy makers to rethink and reflect what can be done for the healthy future of Taiwanese sport."-Li-Hong (Leo) Hsu, Journal of Sport History
"Both comprehensive and fascinating."-John Grant Ross, bookish.asia
