Why read it?
1 author picked The World Turned Upside Down as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a fascinating book by a long-time Washington insider on the reasons for, and strategy behind, China’s rise. He details the crucial geopolitics behind America and China’s changing positionality.

From Pádraig's list on China’s global and African strategies.
