Description:
The gripping story of Taiwan, from the flood myths of ancient legend to its 'Asian Tiger' economic miracle - and the looming threat of invasion by China.
Once dismissed by the Kangxi Emperor as nothing but a 'ball of mud', Taiwan has a modern GDP larger than that of Sweden, in a land area smaller than Indiana. It is the last surviving enclave of the Republic of China, a lost colony of Japan, and claimed by Beijing as a rogue province - merely the latest chapters in its long history as a refuge for pirates, rebels, settlers, and outcasts.
In Rebel Island, Jonathan Clements offers a concise and vivid telling of Taiwan's complex island story, beginning with the unique conditions of its archaeology before examining its indigenous history and its days as a Dutch and Spanish trading post. He delves into its periods as an independent kingdom, Chinese province, and short-lived republic, and the transformations wrought by 50 years as part of the Japanese Empire.
In 1949, the island became a lifeboat for two million refugees from the Chinese Communist Revolution, and the White Terror began. Later chapters explain the recent conflicts that have emerged after the suspension of four decades of martial law, as the Taiwanese debate issues of self-determination, independence, and home rule - all under the watchful gaze of President Xi Jinping, and politicians around the world.
Rebel Island is an essential guide to Taiwan's past and present, providing invaluable context at a time of escalating tension over its future.

Colorful and handy
These are really nice and also inexpensive. The colors are bright and similar to photo. The wrist strap is handy. They fit the appletv control just right. (Snug enough but not hard to take on and off). These help protect against falls and also make it easier to find the controls. No complaints

Excellent quality. Highly recommended!
Excellent quality and packaging was very secure and minimal but recyclable! I love the cell of the remote control of silicone skin. Both a nicely vibrant colors and easy to find. The worst straps are seriously heavy duty. That's great for gaming. I didn't need them but the silicone protection is amazing. I have two Apple TVs. The price you can't beat anywhere else.
If you've ever dropped an apple remote, you quickly discover that the remote is partially made of glass. They are expensive to replace.
Save yourself a headache and get these.

Prepare to love your Apple remote again!
This is a must buy for anyone that owns an Appte TV. The remotes are small, and sleek, and slippery. My whole family drops or loses the remote constantly. It was a constant struggle.
After slipping on the teal blue silicon sleeve it was like we had a whole new remote.
It makes the remote much less slick feeling. Not nearly as easy to drop.
The bright blue color makes it super simple to spot in the couch cushions or on the counter.
The sleeve provides protection from the all too common drops that happen everyday.
It does make the remote slightly thicker, but that isn't a bad thing. It fits in your hand much better and makes operation easier too.
Well worth the price and you get two!
Totally recommend these.

Great value, solves a big problem!
Wow, what a great product, so inexpensive for two, and solved one of my biggest aggravations. This remote fits perfectly over the apple TV remote. The remote is so slippery, black, and it is not designed to be able to tell which way is up. This cover solves every problem. It is no non-stick, I don't lose it anymore. I used to drop it once a day at least - no more dropping the remote. It fits just right, you can easily tell which way is the up. It fits just right, and you can still use every feature of the touch pad, the fast forward, etc. Just right!!! Excellent!!!

Great fit, tether / lanyard probably won't stay on long
A great fit and deal for the money. It's well-balanced in the hand, and makes the remote much less awkward to use. I have two Apple TV's in the house, and the different colors help keep the remotes straight.
There's a lanyard that attaches to a small little bit of silicone. Having the lanyard is nice, but it doesn't stay connected because the bit of plastic is so small, it rips even under a small force. It's still completely useful and worth the purchase to me without the lanyard, but if the lanyard is a dealbreaker for you, you may wish to reconsider. I can't imagine it staying on very long in any environment. 2 kids and a cat it lasted about 20 minutes.
