This book "is entertaining, thought-provoking and quite possibly prescient. Not just an engaging tale but a warning of things to come." ― Eliot A. Cohen, Johns Hopkins SAISAfter decades of poising on the brink, the United States and China finally go to war when China invades the island of Taiwan. Deploying their most futuristic technologies in this grand strategic competition of the 21st century, the stakes could not be higher. Not only the future of the Taiwanese people but the fate of the world lies in the balance.In an era when humans no longer just use machines, but partner with them in all aspects of military operations, this fictional account views this future war through the eyes of the American, Chinese, and Taiwanese caught up in the maelstrom, revealing the heartbreak, courage, leadership, and despair of high-tech warfare played out on land, at sea, in space, and in cyberspace.White Sun War asks readers to ponder anew an essential question for the future of security in western Pacific and the entire Indo-Pacific region: is a war for Taiwan winnable?Table of ContentsAuthor's IntroductionPreliminary OperationsThe MassacrePhase I1 Flood and Fire2 Knife in a Space Fight3 The Successors Dilemma4 Lethal in the Littoral5 Stormfront Approaching6 Grey Wizard7 Overall Defense Concept8 The Beetles9 Tiger of the Land, Dragon of the SeaPhase II10 What Happens in Nevada…11 The Butchers Bill12 Retreat, Hell13 Adaptation Battle14 The High Ground15 Break In16 Resolve17 Courage and Wisdom18 Remote WarPhase III19 Save Our Dream20 New Strategy, Old Strategy21 Transition22 Monsoon23 The City24 The Pledge25 Battle for Taichung26 Battle for Taichung II27 Mors Honesta28 Morakot the Second29 The Bitter Plain

The plot was incredibly well-crafted, with twists and turns that kept me hooked until the very last page. It was impossible to predict what would happen next.
