Top Four Books for the Upcoming Invasion
Start Reading...Before Time Runs Out
By Wendell Minnick (Whiskey Mike) 顏文德
TAIPEI - These are the books you need to read and re-read if you are studying an invasion scenario.
These are the basics books, not for the master strategist, yet great for someone who has not studied warfare.
Easton, Ian. The Chinese Invasion Threat: Taiwan’s Defense and American Strategy in Asia (2017). Still the ultimate book on Taiwan’s military. This is the original cover, so be aware that it has changed over the years. I actually contributed the cover photograph I took at a demonstration exercise by the Taiwan Army’s Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion (ARB), but later the editor thought it too profane and changed it to just a bold title without offending anyone.
Newsham, Grant. When China Attacks (2023). I hold Newsham in high regards.
His book deserves more attention.
Wuthnow, Joel, Derek Grossman, Phillip C. Saunders, Andrew Scobell, Andrew N.D. Yang. Crossing the Strait: China’s Military Prepares for War with Taiwan (2022). Not every chapter is gold, but there is gold in this book.
A 2024 study released by the U.S. Naval War College, Chinese Amphibious Warfare: Prospects for a Cross-Strait Invasion, is by far the best piece of research on China’s capability to invade Taiwan.
Virtually every angle is addressed. I invite you to download it HERE.
