Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides’s Trap? by Graham Allison

4.0

Want to be scared? Shake Stephen King and read this book. It's real, America will be challenged for the rest of my lifetime by the unknown intentions of China. The book fired me up personally. America will never be the largest nation - India is larger, China is larger and even Nigeria will pass us up in population shortly. Technology and productivity keep us ahead of potential adversaries and allow our nation (freedom and liberty loving) to fill vacuums over communist and totalitarianism regimes. What if they steel technology? What if America backs down from our global leadership position? Who will feel the vacuum. Forget being a military intelligence officer, businessman and elected official - being a father is enough to light a fire. America needs to come together, solve problems and ensure we're dealing with threats that may arise. China is a threat. America, let's get it together.
