New Book Talk: Ghost Nation: In Conversation with Chris Horton

"Ghost Nation" provides a panoramic view of Taiwan -- one that is both central to the Asian security order and the global economy.
About this Event

Perched precariously on the fault lines of global power, Taiwan is Asia's freest democracy and a global tech colossus. Yet its remarkable people and their inspiring history remain overlooked and misunderstood. Ghost Nation draws from Horton's decade of living and reporting in Taiwan, and is informed by interviews with everyday citizens, presidents and other key figures. The book provides a panoramic view of this isolated but indispensable country -- one that is both central to the Asian security order and the global economy.
