The rise of China over the past few decades has put it on a collision course with America for world primacy with the CCP utilizing it's industrial might & financial leverage over the rest of the world to get it's way.

With a keen eye to the past and a thorough understanding of the strengths & weaknesses of the competing worldviews & systems, World on the Brink is a must read as it details the urgency with which the United States and it's allies need to coordinate their response to Beijing's aggressiveness without going over the edge into outright war.
