The Most Important National Security Book In A Century – The Hundred Year Marathon, By Michael Pillsbury

The Most Important National Security Book In A Century - The Hundred Year Marathon, By Michael Pillsbury

Michael Pillsbury has written one of the most important national security manuscripts in American history – The Hundred Year Marathon: China’s Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower.

I read this book on a plane ride across the pond, and it was the most eye-opening book I have read in a long time. It literally changed my view of the world. I highly recommend this for an awesome Christmas present to anyone who has interest in global affairs. Heck, I recommend it to anyone that doesn’t but should have that interest.

Our nation is a risk; this book lays it out in stunning prose. Below is the book description. Enjoy, and God bless America!

China Is Behind Much Of What Is Happening To America

One of the U.S. government’s leading China experts reveals the hidden strategy fueling that country’s rise – and how Americans have been seduced into helping China overtake us as the world’s leading superpower.

For more than forty years, the United States has played an indispensable role helping the Chinese government build a booming economy, develop its scientific and military capabilities, 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 “China Dream” is to replace us, just as America replaced the British Empire, without firing a shot?

Based on interviews with Chinese defectors and newly declassified, previously undisclosed national security documents, The Hundred-Year Marathon reveals China’s secret strategy to supplant the United States 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, a fluent Mandarin speaker 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 actions. He offers an inside look at how the Chinese really view America and its leaders – as barbarians who will be the architects of their own demise.

Trump Is Right About Climate Change, China, And The Democrats

Pillsbury also explains how the U.S. government has helped – sometimes unwittingly and sometimes deliberately – to make this “China Dream” come true, and he calls for the United States to implement a new, more competitive strategy toward China as it really is, and not as we might wish it to be. The Hundred-Year Marathon is a wake-up call as we face the greatest national security challenge of the twenty-first century.
