"With The Boiling Moat , Matt Pottinger becomes Taiwan's Paul Revere. He and his contributors give us a lucid, informative, and yet spellbinding menu of unwelcome scenarios from which Xi Jinping will choose to 'reunify the motherland' and advance his 'China Dream.'" --Orville Schell, author of Wealth and Power: China's Long March to the Twenty-First Century "Read this book and ask those in positions of leadership to heed its recommendations with a sense of urgency." --H.R. McMaster, former US national security advisor " The Boiling Moat is a one-of-a-kind book that lays out precisely how we can deter the catastrophic war that China's dictator is planning." --Mike Pompeo, former US secretary of state and CIA director

Synopsis
The threat of a Chinese military takeover of Taiwan has deep ramifications for international security and stability. Xi Jinping has openly expressed his intention to annex Taiwan to mainland China, even suggesting the use of force. Here, Matt Pottinger and his coauthors-acclaimed military and political leaders and scholars from around the world-explain how an invasion or blockade of Taiwan by Chinese forces would be catastrophic, with severe consequences for democracies worldwide. They argue for a robust, workable military strategy for Taiwan, the United States, Japan, Australia, and Europe to pursue collectively, urging quick adoption to avert a devastating war., Chinese leader Xi Jinping has openly expressed his intention to annex Taiwan to mainland China, even threatening the use of force. An invasion or blockade of Taiwan by Chinese forces would be catastrophic, with severe consequences for democracies worldwide. In The Boiling Moat , Matt Pottinger and a team of scholars and distinguished military and political leaders urgently outline practical steps for deterrence. The authors stress that preventing a war is more affordable than waging one and emphasize the importance of learning from recent failures in deterrence, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The book argues that a robust military strategy is essential for countering Beijing's aggression. Pottinger and his team map out a workable military strategy for Taiwan, the United States, Japan, Australia, and Europe to pursue collectively, urging quick adoption to avert a devastating war. The significance of Taiwan to the world economy, semiconductor supply, and Indo-Pacific security is underscored. The authors stress that preventing China's coercive annexation of Taiwan requires democracies to demonstrate not just the means but also the will to effectively resist, conveying the message that a military attempt by Xi would likely lead to disastrous consequences, both for China and for the international community.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
