More January Titles: In China without Mao: The Search for a New Order (Oxford, $19.95 hardback; $7.95 paper) Immanuel C. Y. Hsu argues that a halfcentury from now Taiwan may be reunited with Red China, and that the new China may be a fully modernized and democratized world power..

In The Left, the Right, and the Jews (Universe, $ 18.50), W. B. Rubinstein makes a case for the nearly wholesale conversion to conservatism by Western Jews. Since 1945, he says, most of the Jews in the West have been assimilated into the upper middle class, and this at a time in which pro-Israeli politics has become firmly identified as Establishment politics. Antisemitism, he insists, has vanished from the Right and today exists only on the Left.
