The Conflict We Face - and How to Fight Back. China poses an existential threat to America, warns a veteran intelligence officer, and the window for an effective response is closing fast. Col. Grant Newsham, a former reserve head of intelligence for Marine Forces Pacific, delivers a blow-by-blow account of how the threat has developed, from the growing skill and belligerence of the Chinese military to gray-zone campaigns to hollow out America's will to resist - efforts that have now reached fruition. The question is not WHETHER the Chinese will attack. They already have. The question is, will America fight back before the cold war that Communist China is waging against America and its allies goes hot? The flash point will be Taiwan, but the war will extend throughout the Pacific and beyond, and the results could be devastating. America risks a humilitating retreat, with almost unimaginable costs to our economy and security. The conflict is coming. We're not ready. Is American defeat inevitable? No, but we must change course immediately. And to do that, we must wake up and heed the sobering message of When China Attacks." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "Grant Newsham's family intervention with the United States of America, a nation locked in a cycle of self-destructive behavior in its relationship with Communist China. It's the brave effort of a man who has dedicated his life to American national security and studying the Chinese threat to wake us up before it is too late." - Sam Faddis, retired CIA operations officer and senior editor of AND Magazine. "America's war planners think China's war planners think like America's war planners. Not so! Grant Newsham shows us the horrific consequences that can result from American misperceptions of Chinese intentions and capabilities." - Gordon Chang, author. "Will make you uncomfortable - but by design. China wars on a distracted U.S. without effective challenge. Taiwan is critically endangered, our era's Sudetenland. Will we wake up and act in time? - Wallace C. Gregson, lieutenant general (retired), former commander U.S. Marine Forces Pacific, and former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Asian and Pacific Security Affairs. "Newsham's comprehensive description of China's 'whole of society' approach to warfare .is edgy, well researched, convincing, and yes, it will make you uncomfortable - as it should!" - Robert Thomas, vice admiral (retired), U.S. Navy, former Seventh Fleet commander. "Newsham .plubs a new well of PRC experts who have not sold their souls to the Chinese Communist Party." - Jim Fanell, captian (retired), U.S. Navy, former Director of Intelligence and Information Operations U.S. Pacific Fleet, fellow at Geneva Centre for Security Policy. "Gripping, lucid, and jam-packed with strategic intelligence .A Marine Corps-style boot camp for your mind." - Jan Easton, author of The Final Struggle: Inside China's Global Strategy.
