Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 25
Despite its impressive size and population, economic vitality, and drive to upgrade its military, China remains a vulnerable nation surrounded by powerful rivals and potential foes. Understanding China's foreign policy means fully appreciating these geostrategic challenges, which persist even as the country gains increasing influence over its neighbors. Andrew J. Nathan and Andrew Scobell analyze China's security concerns on four fronts: at home, with its immediate neighbors, in surrounding regional systems, and in the world beyond Asia.

What did you like best about A Contest for Supremacy? What did you like least?
It is readable, but the author attempted no insight, off no new prescription, and large built a narrative by cherry picked quotes. In the end he exhorted the US to do what is has done, which he admits to be a born of shorted sighted narrowly self interested born of compromise, but do it better.
Do you think A Contest for Supremacy needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No.

A good review of a relatively little known, but important episode in history

In this far-reaching narrative, Weisman explains how our massive infrastructure would collapse and vanish without human presence; which everyday items may become immortalized as fossils; why some of our earliest buildings might be the last architecture left; and how plastic, bronze sculpture, and man-made molecules may be our lasting gifts to the universe.

I am not brought up to loath the human race.
Revisado: 03-24-08
It's a fairly pitiful gruel. This book is not a work of constructive self criticism the price of human accomplishment, but is instead a pathetic work of species level self-loathing.
