Young offers a fascinating read that explores conflicting perspectives about Taiwan—and explains why the world should side with democracy.

Excerpts from the Humanity at Stake’s official website:

Humanity at Stake is a pamphlet-book that depicts the true conversation that occurred amongst three inquisitive people who engaged one another. It is written for the purpose of bringing the politics of Taiwan, China, and America towards all of our consciences and conversations. In so doing, dialogue removes those politics from reclusion and dangerous misunderstanding. On a broader level, Humanity at Stake is a reflection of—and a tool for—the issue of human rights for all, free people.

A poignant tale, told in a charmingly human voice, of three idealist young men attempting to resolve their different views of Taiwan. The author asks how the world can continue to justify the constant pressure—economic, military, and political—on free and democratic Taiwan from a hostile, authoritarian China. This is beautifully written.
