In this "excellent" (Economist) book, the national security expert who predicted Putin's invasion of Ukraine argues that Xi Jinping is preparing to conquer Taiwan--with dire global stakes if he is not deterred

Laying out the grand strategy for the United States and allies to avoid this fate, the highly respected security analyst Dmitri Alperovitch reveals key actions that could enable America to win the race for the twenty-first century. This sharp, timely book is the essential blueprint for preventing a catastrophe.
