Reviews"The Washington consensus is that China represents the pre-eminent threat to America. This jargon-light book neatly sketches the China challenge and makes a number of sensible prescriptions."-- Economist, "A breezy and mercifully jargon-light book and an excellent source for the layman. Dmitri Alperovitch, chairman of Silverado Policy Accelerator, a think-tank in Washington, and Garrett Graff, a journalist, neatly sketch the relevant history and current predicament, quote intelligently from a range of top 'China hands' and suggest a number of prescriptions... This book's biggest contribution is that it also proposes a single goal for American policy, which is deceptively simple: America should just play for time." -- Economist, "A breezy and mercifully jargon-light book and an excellent source for the layman. Dmitri Alperovitch, chairman of Silverado Policy Accelerator, a think-tank in Washington, and Garrett Graff, a journalist, neatly sketch the relevant history and current predicament, quote intelligently from a range of top 'China hands' and suggest a number of prescriptions... This book's biggest contribution is that it also proposes a single goal for American policy, which is deceptively simple: America should just play for time." -- The Economist, "An urgent, thought-provoking warning about one of the biggest challenges facing America today. A must-read on the most important issue in the world!" -- GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS, US Army (ret.), former director of the CIA, "An important book that stands apart from much of the current writing (and posturing) on China by its lack of hype, a clear exploration of the challenge China poses, and practical and well considered policy options... In the upcoming election, regardless of who wins, there will be changes (perhaps wholesale) in the national security team and whoever those people are - they would do well to spend time reading this book." -- Cipher Brief

SynopsisA leading national security expert, who publicly predicted Vladimir Putin's intention to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine months before it took place, lays out the case for why China's Xi Jinping is preparing to conquer Taiwan in the coming years and the dire stakes for America and the whole world if he is not deterred. In World on the Brink , security expert Dmitri Alperovitch makes the case that we are already in the midst of Cold War II, with China, and that Taiwan is the perilous strategic flashpoint of this new conflict that risks triggering a devastating war between major nuclear powers in a similar role that West Berlin nearly played during Cold War I.Laying out the comprehensive strategy to deter war and maintain U.S. place as the world's leading superpower in the face of rising China, Alperovitch breaks down not only the significant weaknesses that can prevent China from surpassing the United States, but also the key policies that will enable America to maintain primacy even as China ramps up its efforts. As Alperovitch explains, we must play to our strengths and address our weaknesses, using our leverage as the strongest nation on the planet to tactfully navigate the next Cold War. This sharp, timely book is the essential blueprint for doing just that., NATIONAL BESTSELLER The leading national security expert who predicted Putin's intention to invade Ukraine argues that China's Xi Jinping is preparing to conquer Taiwan in the coming years--with dire stakes for America and the world if he is not deterred We are fully in the midst of Cold War II, this time with China.

Laying out the grand strategy for the United States and allies to avoid this fate, the highly respected security analyst Dmitri Alperovitch reveals key actions that could enable America to win the race for the twenty-first century. This sharp, timely book is the essential blueprint for preventing a catastrophe.
