"Provocative . detailed and rigorous. ["Pillsbury is"] right that for Washington, assessing the nature of China's ambition, and responding to it effectively, may be the central foreign-policy challenge of our time." -- Newsweek. "Pungently written and rich in detail, this book deserves to enter the mainstram of debat over the future of U.S.-- Chinese relations." -- Foreign Affairs. "The Hundred-Year Marathon looks at the critical issues of who is in fact making policy in the Chinese capital and, as a result, it will be read, analyzed, and debated for years. Think of Pillsbury as our time's Paul Revere." -- Gordon G. Chang, The National Interest. "For more than forty years, the United States has helped China develop a booming economy and take its place on the world stage, in the belief that China's rise will bring us cooperation, diplomacy, and free trade. But what if the Chinese have had a different plan all along? The Hundred-Year Marathon reveals China's secret strategy to supplant America as the world's dominant power, and to do so by 2049, the one-hundredth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic. Michael Pillsbury, who has served in senior national security positions in the U.S. government since the days of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, draws on his decades of contact with the "hawks" in China's military and intelligence agencies and translates their documents, speeches, and books to show how the teachings of traditional Chinese statecraft underpin their strategy. He also explains how the U.S. government is unwittingly helping make this "China Dream" come true. Now featuring a new afterword, The Hundred-Year Marathon is a wake-up call for all Americans concerned about how we have misread the greatest national security challenge of the twenty-first century." -- from the rear outer cover.
