Blurb: “The deafening roar of Chinese warplanes shreds the tranquillity of the gathering dawn. Within minutes burning phospherous, shrapnel, and delayed-action mines have ripped apart the strategic Cam Ranh Bay naval base in Vietnam. Operation Dragon Strike has begun. The events described in this book have not yet happened. It was written in 1997 as a future history, an exercise in military and political prediction, about a country whose emergence as a world
power is one of the most important developments of the early 21st Century. The arrival of China on the world
stage poses problems that had not been encountered by the world’s democracies for well over fifty years. It is wealthy. It is expansionist. It has yawning cultural differences with the West. It is embittered about its past. China is a nondemocratic one-party state, whose government has to prove itself to survive. Although written more than 20 years ago, Dragon Strike still acts as a warning of what might happen if the United States mishandles the rise of China.“
