Reviews"In Chip War, his elegant new book, Chris Miller of Tufts University shows how economic, geopolitical and technological forces shaped this essential industry... For those seeking to understand it better, Chip War is a fine place to start." -- The Economist, "In Chip War , Chris Miller has captured the essence of the most critical and strategic element of the 21st century geostrategic competition. This book is brilliantly and entertainingly written, deeply convincing, and grounded in both history and technology. A tour de force!" -- Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret); Vice Chair, Global Affairs, The Carlyle Group; 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO; and author of 2034: A Novel of the Next World War, "A riveting history of the semiconductor by Chris Miller, a historian at Tufts University...His volume could not be better timed...[features] vivid accounts [and] colorful characters." -- Financial Times, "A remarkable book...The devil is in the details, and it is there where Chris Miller is at his best...An eye-popping work, a unique combination of economic and technological--and strategic--analysis." -- Paul Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, "Pulse quickening... Chip War makes a whale of a case: that the chip industry now determines both the structure of the global economy and the balance of geopolitical power. But the book is not a polemic. Rather, it's a nonfiction thriller -- equal parts "The China Syndrome" and "Mission Impossible"....If any book can make general audiences grok the silicon age -- and finally recognize how it rivals the atomic age for drama and import -- Chip War is it." -- New York Times, "An insightful history... Well-researched and incisive, this is a noteworthy look at the intersection of technology, economics, and politics." -- Publisher's Weekly

SynopsisOne of Barack Obama ' s Favorite Books of 2023 The Financial Times Business Book of the Year, this epic account of the decades-long battle to control one of the world's most critical resources--microchip technology--with the United States and China increasingly in fierce competition is "pulse quickening...a nonfiction thriller" ( The New York Times ). You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new oil--the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything --from missiles to microwaves--runs on chips, including cars, smartphones, the stock market, even the electric grid. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower, but America's edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by players in Taiwan, Korea, and Europe taking over manufacturing. Now, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building initiative to catch up to the US. At stake is America's military superiority and economic prosperity. Economic historian Chris Miller explains how the semiconductor came to play a critical role in modern life and how the US became dominant in chip design and manufacturing and applied this technology to military systems. America's victory in the Cold War and its global military dominance stems from its ability to harness computing power more effectively than any other power. Until recently, China had been catching up, aligning its chip-building ambitions with military modernization. Illuminating, timely, and fascinating, Chip War is "an essential and engrossing landmark study" ( London Times )., The Financial Times Business Book of the Year, this epic account of the decades-long battle to control one of the world's most critical resources--microchip technology--with the United States and China increasingly in fierce competition is "pulse quickening...a nonfiction thriller" ( The New York Times ).

Here, in this paperback edition of the book, the author has added intriguing new material focused on "America's Chip Comeback," which overviews the global consequences of the just passed CHIPS Act, the new export controls on China, and the effort to rally allies to better guard chip technology. Illuminating, timely, and fascinating, Chip War is "an essential and engrossing landmark study" ( The Times , London).
