But what if the Chinese have had a different plan all along? 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, who has served in senior national security positions in the U.S. government since the days of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, draws on Chinese documents, speeches, and books (many of them never translated into English) to reveal the roots of this strategy in traditional Chinese statecraft and track how the Chinese are putting it into practice today. Pillsbury shows how American policymakers have been wilfully blind to these developments for decades - and he includes himself in that critique, as he was once a leading voice in favour of aiding China. He also calls for the United States to design 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 wakeup call for all Americans concerned about how we have misread the greatest national security challenge of the twenty-first century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49531445707025,"sku":"CIN1627790101G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49772817514769,"sku":"CIN1627790101VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50104303911185,"sku":"CIN1627790101A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50916233281809,"sku":"GOR007210578","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51336796668177,"sku":"GOR008552757","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51839601049873,"sku":"NGR9781627790109","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1627790101.jpg?v=1751182402"},{"product_id":"hundred-year-marathon-book-michael-pillsbury-9781250081346","title":"The Hundred-Year Marathon","description":"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.

Readers will be impressed . by China's ambitions in space, information warfare, stealth, and robots, in future warfare. No one with serious interests in East Asia can afford not to have read this book.Robert Ellsworth, former Deputy Defense SecretaryAmerican relations with the People's Republic of China have now become the single most critical bilateral relationship in the world. On it rests the stability of East Asia, and it represents the most significant challenge to the effectiveness of U.S. foreign policy, Yet far too little is known about China, and in particular how the Chinese military think about the future.Michael Pillsbury has performed a signal service in selecting, translating, and interpreting these revealing and hard-to-obtain writings by senior Chinese officers, The reader is in for a surprise. Rather than parading the tired slogans of People's War, these analysts examine a military future marked by 'information deterrence', 'crippling attacks on information systems' and similar notions and by a search for 'new measures of effectiveness.' The future remains uncertain, but the best preparation-- as Sun Tzu might say-- is to understand the mind of those with whom we must deal.James Schlesinger, former Director of Central Intelligenceand former Secretary of DefenseThis book reflects the keen interest that its sponsor, the Director of Net Assessment, Andy Marshall, has shown in Chinese views of a potential revolution in military affairs. The translation and publication of these articles enhance our understanding of howsome of China's authoritative military strategists see the revolution in military affairs in the 21st century.William Perryformer Secretary of Defense","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50032216310033,"sku":"CIN1410202445G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51024712728849,"sku":"NIN9781410202444","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1410202445.jpg?v=1751084119"},{"product_id":"china-debates-the-future-security-environment-book-michael-pillsbury-9781410218568","title":"China Debates the Future Security Environment","description":"This study offers over 600 selected quotations from the writings of over 200 Chinese authors published from 1994 to 1999. Analysis and interpretation are kept to a minimum so that the Chinese may speak for themselves. Many Chinese scholars assisted with this study by providing hard-to-get books and articles unfamiliar to most Westerners. Half the authors were interviewed in China. They explained some of the viewpoints in recent debates about the future security environment. Debates in China are generally concealed, and frequently authors pretend they do not exist. However muted they may be, China's debates about the future nevertheless exist and merit attention if we are to understand the premises of China's national strategy and set a baseline from which to measure any future change in these premises.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50097988075793,"sku":"CIN1410218562VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51024675864849,"sku":"NIN9781410218568","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1410218562.jpg?v=1750826311"},{"product_id":"the-hundred-year-marathon-china-s-secret-strategy-to-replace-america-as-the-global-superpower-cd-9781504620093","title":"The Hundred-Year Marathon","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50386988302609,"sku":"CIN1504620097G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52817253237009,"sku":"CIN1504620097A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1504620097.jpg?v=1751372869"},{"product_id":"china-book-michael-pillsbury-9781478268956","title":"China","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028569391377,"sku":"NIN9781478268956","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1478268956.jpg?v=1750859038"},{"product_id":"cu-7897-c-272-ua-marathon-100-n-259-m-book-michael-pillsbury-9781927781937","title":"Cu\u0026#7897;c \u0026#272;ua Marathon 100 N\u0026#259;m","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51057615569169,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51057617731857,"sku":"NIN9781927781937","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52427294900497,"sku":"NLS9781927781937","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1927781930.jpg?v=1750770453"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-michael-pillsbury.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
