During the height of the Cold War in the 1950s the small island of Quemoy in the Taiwan Strait was the front line in the military standoff between Chiang Kai-shek's Republic of China and Mao Zedong's People's Republic. Local society and culture were dramatically transformed. Michael Szonyi uses oral history, official documents, and dissident writings to convey the history of the island during this period. In so doing, he sheds light on the social and cultural impact of the Cold War on those who lived through it, as well as on the relationship between China, the United States and the USSR at this critical moment. By analysing the effects of Quemoy's distinctive geopolitical situation on the economy, gender and the family, and citizenship and religion, the book provides a new perspective on the social history of Cold War relations, showing how geopolitics can affect individual lives and communities.

本书以军事化、地缘政治化、现代化以及记忆这四个互相联系的概念，探讨冷战时期金门社会的变迁与特色。国府迁台以后在金门爆发的一系列战争推动了金门战地政务的形成。60年代以后虽然金门面临的军事威胁日益减少，但由于金门地处冷战最前线的位置，逐渐成为“自由世界”国际宣传的象征，其政治标签也不断被强化。长期的军事化对金门的社会生活、发展模式与集体记忆留下了深刻的烙印。在探讨金门军事化时期的历史时，作者既能兼顾国际冷战史的宏观视野，又能从微观的个人记忆与细节中展现生动的历史面貌，让我们看到基层百姓面对官方强制性政策的应对之道。而金门的经济现代化，包括土地改革与发展地方产业等，并非单纯以追求经济发展为目标，本质上是为了达成军事化与地缘政治化之目的。因此，金门的发展模式与台湾并不相同，也为日后的转型埋下了伏笔
