Features: How did the Nationalist army rise, develop, and decline? How did its leadership, organization, and equipment evolve? In which wars did it launch or participate, and what were the outcomes? Especially when competing with the People's Liberation Army, why did it suffer such a devastating defeat, with its 8 million troops reduced to only hundreds of thousands of remnants? What were the reasons behind this? After retreating to Taiwan Island, how did it plan for development and counterattack the mainland? Until Lee Teng-hui's administration and the complete end of the Jiang family's rule in Taiwan, the Nationalist army had essentially transformed into the "Taiwanese army." What were the details of this transformation? This book strives to use reliable sources to provide a truthful and objective record and disclosure.
