| Abstract
|
:
|
"In China: The Gathering Threat, Dr. Constantine C. Menges, former special assistant to the president for National Security Affairs, reveals how China is steadily pursuing a stealthy, systematic strategy to attain geopolitical and economic dominance, which could lead to a nuclear face-off with America within the next decade. Using recently declassified documents, statements by Russian and Chinese leaders largely overlooked in the Western media, and groundbreaking analysis and investigative work, Menges thoroughly explains China's plan, exposing its methods of economic and military control." "Menges also provides urgent suggestions for more thoughtful and balanced policies that can maintain peace and increase the prospects for constructive political evolution toward freedom and democracy.
