Geopolitical cracks are widening in East Asia, a region that has flourished under an American security umbrella for more than half a century. The historic rivalry between China and Japan is threatening to upend the
peace that has held since World War II. With unrivaled
access to archives in the U.S. and Asia, and to many of the major players in all three countries, Richard McGregor (full bio) has written a tale which blends the tectonic shifts in diplomacy with the domestic
political trends and personalities driving them.
