Book Description
A leading national security expert, who publicly predicted Vladimir Putin's intention to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine months before it took place, lays out the case for why China's Xi Jinping is preparing to conquer Taiwan in the coming years and the dire stakes for America and the whole world if he is not deterred.In World on the Brink, security expert Dmitri Alperovitch makes the case that we are already in the midst of Cold War II, with China, and that Taiwan is the perilous strategic flashpoint of this new conflict that risks triggering a devastating war between major nuclear powers in a similar role that West Berlin nearly played during Cold War I.Laying out the comprehensive strategy to deter war and maintain U.S. place as the world's leading superpower in the face of rising China, Alperovitch breaks down not only the significant weaknesses that can prevent China from surpassing the United States, but also the key policies that will enable America to maintain primacy even as China ramps up its efforts. As Alperovitch explains, we must play to our strengths and address our weaknesses, using our leverage as the strongest nation on the planet to tactfully navigate the next Cold War. This sharp, timely book is the essential blueprint for doing just that.
About the Author
Review "An important book that stands apart from much of the current writing (and posturing) on China by its lack of hype, a clear exploration of the challenge China poses, and practical and well considered policy options... In the upcoming election, regardless of who wins, there will be changes (perhaps wholesale) in the national security team and whoever those people are - they would do well to spend time reading this book." --Cipher Brief"A thorough investigation of 'America's top foreign policy challenge'...Deeply insightful advice for the coming decades."--Kirkus Reviews"World on the Brink is a clear-eyed analysis of Cold War II and a game plan for winning it. Provocative and insightful, this is essential reading for understanding the American-made world order and the threats it faces."--CHRIS MILLER, New York Times-bestselling author of Chip War"An urgent, thought-provoking warning about one of the biggest challenges facing America today. A must-read on the most important issue in the world!"--GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS, US Army (ret.), former director of the CIA"Deeply researched and provocative, this is a powerful call to arms for Washington's policy makers and a must-read for anyone watching global affairs, the twenty-first-century tech sector, and international business."--GILLIAN TETT, columnist and editorial board, Financial Times"The stakes of Cold War II could not be greater. Alperovitch, one of our nation's foremost experts on technology and national security, has skillfully crafted a game plan for freedom to once again be the victor.
