什麼是「反攻大陸」？ 是國民黨政府為了正當化在臺灣的獨裁統治而提出的政治口號？還是蔣介石的執念，並隨著他退出歷史舞台而走向終結？ 抑或是僅為了拉攏美國的華麗詞藻？1949年以來，臺灣海峽將「中國」一分為二，兩岸政府各自以「統一中國」為目標持續對峙。中華民國國軍曾經將以軍力奪回中國大陸的「反攻大陸」視為首要任務；隨著現實形勢的變化，為了阻止中共武力侵略，則逐步轉型為「攻守一體」至「守勢防衛」。作者利用近年解密的檔案資料及最新公開的兩蔣日記，提出全新視角深入探討「統一中國」與「反攻大陸」之間的關係，以及兩個「中國」政府與美國的互動，並全面檢證中華民國軍事戰略的變遷。本書同時企圖分析中華民國如何從原本維持「代表全中國的正統政府」的立場，轉變為僅統治「臺灣」的政府；此外作為一個實質的獨立國家，又如何逐漸發展出「中華民國臺灣化」的邏輯基礎。 ★ 本書日文版榮獲 ★ 第38屆大平正芳紀念獎 第12屆地域研究聯盟獎 第34屆佐伯喜一獎 第 8 屆豬木正道獎【專家推薦】本書的意義首先在於描繪了中華民國反攻大陸政策與統一理念的形成與轉變過程。第二在於闡明了圍繞統一觀念和反攻大陸的口號的實際意義、口號與實際安保政策的關係。第三在於詳述了中華民國如何在名義上和實際上將反攻大陸政策轉向防禦臺灣政策，同時拋棄反攻大陸政策的口號的過程。——川島真（東京大學大學院總合文化研究科教授）對於五十嵐先生能夠在其著作中廣泛運用臺灣與美國公開的個人史料與政府檔案，如《蔣經國日記》、國史館、國防部檔案、中國國民黨黨史館、外交部檔案等，提供更細緻的政策變遷分析，因而感到相當驚艷與讚佩。——林孝庭（美國史丹佛大學胡佛研究所研究員）五十嵐教授以其嚴謹的學術態度，細膩的史料爬梳，廣徵博引，鉤深索隱，以宏觀的國際視野，就臺灣「反攻大陸」議題進行深入且全面的剖析，為我們理解戰後臺灣的歷史進程，以及形塑今日臺海局勢的關鍵因素，提供了全新的視角與深刻的洞見。——蘇聖雄（中央研究院近代史研究所副研究員）

有時現實比藝術荒誕，真實經歷會比故事精彩，
李小牧就是這樣的一個人物。

　　他出身湖南長沙，文革動盪期間，從批鬥中活下來。改革開放，一家人從萬元戶被打成詐騙犯。赴日留學，第一份工作就在時鐘酒店當清潔，然後是跨性別俱樂部當舞伴，再者就在歌舞伎町街頭。在新宿之中最繁華亦最危險的地方，他是個案內人，是個時裝記者，也是個專欄作家。

　　他不會打字，卻辦過華文報紙，寫了二十二本書。

　　他與五個女人有著七段婚姻，每次都是淨身出戶。

　　他三度競選新宿區議員，耗資無數，加入了維新會，只為追求一種曾經遙不可及的「民主夢」。

　　舞女、陪酒女、男公關、跨性別、移民工、「雅酷扎」、這些大眾社會眼中的「異鄉人」匯集在歌舞伎町，在李小牧的後半生中，造就了他對身分認同的剖析，對人性慾望的探索。這是一個時代的縮影，一耦地方的恩怨情仇，也是李小牧來自歌舞伎町的人權主張。

本書追溯新亞書院由創立到併入中文大學前的發展歷史，和在香港擔任的角色，揭示多重的國際衝突。．在中國大陸共產主義高漲之際，錢穆、唐君毅、張丕介等中國學者避走香港，為保存中國傳統的價值和文化，創立了新亞書院。冷戰時期，英國殖民地上的新亞書院要承傳中華文化，難免要面對美國非政府組織、英國殖民地政策等所衍生的衝突，使其文化教育的意義牽涉了各方的價值取向，蒙上各種政治色彩。

这本书是陈丹青纽约生涯的结账，初事写作的开端……他的生活因这本书从此转向，出现新地带。和其它几本书相比，陈丹青说“这本书不越界、没脾气，聊聊纽约、谈谈艺术，自然显得雅，而久在域外，所谓生活积累比较厚，要论写作的闲静与专注，也确是这本书”。初版分为两册，下册多是访谈、杂稿，修订版全部删除。

在毛時代的中國，革命不僅是口號或意識形態，而是融入日常的現實。毛時代的政治展覽一方面將革命納入官方論述，鞏固政權合法性；另一方面作為參與式宣傳手段，賦予物品階級意涵、鼓勵群眾參與憶苦思甜等儀式，使革命敘事具象化、易於理解，從而深入基層。本書以上海六個關鍵的博物館和展覽為案例，揭示展覽文化透過改造群眾思想、激發愛憎之情，最終動員人民將話語化為行動，製造並成就了革命。

本書基於扎實的檔案與訪談資料，完整追蹤從文物徵集到展覽反饋的過程，考察了策展人、講解員與參觀者在其中扮演的角色。作者指出，展覽策劃於當下，立基於過去，也將塑造未來，為群眾建立全新的世界觀。本書為理解社會主義中國如何策展物質、儀式與敘事，進行意識形態建構與動員，提供了全新視角。

在毛時代的中國，展覽文化深深融入日常生活的肌理。作者精彩呈現了塑造這種文化的多元群體的歷史圖像，包括策展人、收藏家、工人、教師、學生、解說員與城市居民。

—鄧騰克（ Kirk A. Denton，俄亥俄州立大學東亞語言與文學系榮休教授）
毛時代的中國比任何國家都更致力於向公民灌輸新的意識形態。本書創新地結合群眾運動的制度研究與口述歷史，揭示實物展覽如何透過敘述過去、闡釋當下並動員觀眾捍衛革命。

—葛凱（Karl Gerth，加州大學聖地牙哥分校歷史系教授）
本書從大量檔案、文獻與訪談中萃取新銳洞見，清晰有力地闡釋「以展覽製造革命」的核心命題，是當代中國歷史研究的典範之作。

—裴宜理（Elizabeth J. Perry，哈佛大學亨利・羅索夫斯基政府學講席教授）
本書深入分析了「實物教學」的功能與目的，首次系統性地揭示毛時代政治文化中意識形態與物質性的深層關聯。在此過程中，革命、歷史、文化、宣傳、參與等常見範疇均被賦予嶄新而豐富的內涵。

來自兩個世界的眼睛
一位美籍華裔教授的文革中國觀察
「我不禁流下了眼淚，或許是因為返回闊別二十四年的祖國而興奮，也或許是出於恐懼――我的朋友們警告說，我可能會被中國共產黨扣押。」
鄧嗣禹清末出生於湖南，畢業於燕京大學，抗戰爆發後赴美留學，在內戰期間短暫返國執教，之後一直留在美國工作與生活。
中共建政以後，與美國關係不佳。直到1972年，美國總統尼克森為了拉攏中共對抗蘇聯，造訪大陸。此後許多華裔美籍知識分子紛紛回大陸探親或旅遊，鄧嗣禹也是其中之一。
然而事隔多年，重新踏上故土的他心中滿是忐忑。在美國流傳的「文化大革命」情節相當令人不安，有人說代表舊傳統的建築與文物被大量破壞，也有人說知識分子們被批鬥與迫害。雖然這些流言虛實難辨，但橫立在自由世界與共產世界間的隔閡幾乎無法讓人證實或證偽。因此心懷傳統已然消失殆盡（以及可能被中共扣押）的恐懼，他鼓起勇氣「重訪中國」，就為了親眼看看文革的真實樣貌。
第一次訪問是正在文革的1972年，他從香港進廣州，去了包括杭州、上海、北京等各大小城市，以華僑的身分，而非美國人的身分，接受各種招待與行程安排，見了舊時師友、親人，也以教授身分做了學術交流。他除了記下所見所&#
