Editorial Reviews

"Many people see the rise of China and America's response as the 21st-century equivalent of Thucydides' account of the Pelopennisian War. But the outcome will depend on diplomacy. This book captures the complexity of U.S.-China diplomacy beautifully, and sheds important light on this crucial question." - Joseph S. Nye, Jr., Harvard University, author of Soft Power: The Means to Success in World Politics
