An explosive examination of the fast-escalating
Sino-American struggle for geopolitical predominance.There may be no denying China's growing economic strength, but
its impact on the global balance of power remains hotly contested.
Political scientist Aaron L. Friedberg argues that our nation's
leaders are failing to act expeditiously enough to counter China's
growing strength. He explains how the United States and China
define their goals and reveals the strategies each is now employing
to achieve its ends. Friedberg demonstrates in this provocative
book that the ultimate aim of Chinese policymakers is to "win
without fighting," displacing the United States as the leading
power in Asia while avoiding direct confrontation. The United
States, on the other hand, sends misleading signals about our
commitments and resolve, putting us at risk for a war that might
otherwise have been avoided. A much-needed wake-up call to U.S.
leaders and policymakers,
