The Decisive Decade Jonathan DT WardLast week I downloaded a book from the library by Jonathan DT Ward after hearing him mention it on a Fox Business program. He is a regular contributor and expert on China; I’ve always thought of him as knowledgeable and a younger version of Micheal Pillsbury (prevous book).

The book is titled, “The Decisive Decade: American Grand Strategy for Triumph Over China,” and it highlights what America must do to succeed against an increasingly adversarial China. As the Amazon summary details, “now is the time for the US to take action. China’s global power and influence grows every day. Working from a deep sense of national identity, the Chinese Communist Party is leading its country toward what it deems “the great rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation,” and executing a long-term Grand Strategy to topple over its chief adversary, the US. As China becomes increasingly repressive domestically and aggressive overseas, it threatens to upend America’s global dominance at every turn.”
