When China tried to intimidate Taiwan's voters by firing missiles and conducting large-scale military exercises off its coasts in the period preceding Taiwan's first presidential election in 1996, the US dispatched two aircraft carriers battle groups to Taiwan. The author xplores the origins and dynamics of this biggest show of US naval force in East Asia since the Vietnam War; and warns of a potential confrontational era in Sino-US relations.
