Cool War: The Future of Global Competition
A daring and thought-provoking examine the way forward for U. S. -China kinfolk, and the way their coming strength fight will reshape the aggressive taking part in box for international locations all over the world

The U. S. and China might be divided through political tradition and trust, yet also they are certain jointly through mutual self-interest. Cool struggle makes the case for aggressive cooperation because the basically means ahead that may safeguard the peace and make winners out of either side.
