		A simple look at the facts showed that Mao’s forces had failed in taking Kinmen in the battle of Kuningtou (October 25—27, 1949) where the distance from the mainland was only two kilometers.
		In that battle 20,000 attacked the island; in two days some 13,000 were killed and 7,000 captured.
		If the CCP could not take Kinmen with an amphibious landing how could they expect to cross the 100 kilometers of the treacherous Taiwan Strait especially without air cover.
