| Publisher Description: This collection of over 300 black and white photographs tells an incredibly moving story of life for the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) troops in Taiwan during 1955 and 1956. Depicted are leaders and heroes, and military displays of men and hardware. All aspects of the troops' lives are covered, from combat, training and drills to camp life and entertainment. The images are typical of the period and the political climate, and they speak for themselves. |
