Reviews

In this study, Martin B. Gold provides an extremely accurate assessment of the substantial alterations to the Taiwan legislation put forward by the Carter administration and how the final approval in Congress occurred. This is an excellent historical and procedural study. -- Dennis DeConcini, former U.S. Senator from Arizona The great sage of Senate rules and procedures offers here a scholarly yet accessible case study of the world's greatest deliberative body in action. As a participant in the events described, I can attest that Martin B. Gold deftly explores the myriad influences on Congress's consideration of the Taiwan Relations Act. Of particular importance, Gold thoughtfully assesses the process by which Congress improved the bill, thereby ensuring the long term security of U.S. interests in the Western Pacific. As the contemporary Senate seeks a return to its original purposes, Gold reminds us of a time when policies were crafted and ideas considered based on both particular interests and arguments in favor of the common good. -- Orrin Hatch, U.S. Senator from Utah
