This book analyses the issues that Chinese policy makers would have to consider if they were to decide to attack Taiwan. It explains and analyses the driving forces behind, the methods and the consequences of China using force, a prospect that has become greater following the return of President Chen Shui-bian to power in Taiwan in 2004. As the reality is that there can be no real winner in such an eventuality and the consequences would be dire for East Asia as a whole, whether China will use force will depend ultimately on how its policy making apparatus assess the prospect of US intervention, whether its armed forces can subdue Taiwan and counter US military involvement, as well as on its assessment of the likely consequences. Written by leading academics and government policy-makers including former military officers and diplomats, this volume will appeal not only to scholars and students working on China and Chinese foreign policy, but also to policy makers and journalists interested in China's rise and its defense policy, Taiwan's security, regional stability as well as US policy toward China and the East Asia region. This book will be essential reading for students of Chinese politics, strategic studies, Asian security and IR in general.

A new appraisal of the military careers and activities of soldiers from elite medieval families. In 1277 the recently crowned king of England, Edward I, invaded Wales; his army, large for the time, was none the less modest by his later standards. Most of his countrymen had not been on active service outside the realm for twenty years and more, if at all, yet over the course of the following four decades, up to the battle of Bannockburn in 1314, they would be called upon to fight in four different theatres of war: in Wales, Gascony, Flanders and Scotland. Although the identities of many of the men who fought in these wars, particularly those of the thousands of peasant foot soldiers, will never be known, the names of a large proportion of the men-at-arms can be located in the records of central government. This book utilises these sources - pay-rolls, horse inventories, wardrobe books and others - to examine the military careers and activities of these men-at-arms, focusing on five main themes: mobilisation; military command; service patterns among the gentry; retinues and their composition; and 'feudal' service. Dr DAVID SIMPKIN is Research Associate at the University of Reading.
