description [...]the island's economic development and the people's standard of living were influenced as much by short-term military necessity and the presence of thousands of soldiers as by central government policies. In this context, Jinmen offers a case study of how local communities interact with large military bases--a phenomenon seen around the world during the Cold War. Szonyi's book reminds us why the island mattered during the 1950s and 1960s, and offers a detailed description of the local impact of Cold War conflict.
