Formosa Betrayed is a book written by George H. Kerr, a US diplomatic officer in Taiwan, who witnessed the February 28 Incident and the corruption and killings committed by the Kuomintang (KMT, Chinese Nationalist Party) in Taiwan after World War II.
Formosa Betrayed is one of the most influential books about Taiwan's transition from Japanese colonial rule.[1] Kerr was working for the American Foreign Service at the time of the transition and was present in Taiwan for the KMT occupation and resulting aftermath. Formosa Betrayed made a sharp rebuke of the Nationalist administration and made arguments in favor of Taiwanese independence.
The book was originally published in 1965, and was republished in 1976 by Da Capo Press. In 1992 a second edition was published by Taiwan Publishing Co. A Chinese-language translation was made in 1974 and a new translation was released in 2014.[1] The book is now legally available free online.
