Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This is a landmark work, a pioneering study of China’s policy process in weapons development and acquisition. Making excellent use of recent PRC publications on military and Party history, including biographies and autobiographies, it is also informed by interviews with authoritative Chinese officials. This sophisticated ‘state of the art’ book on Chinese politics should put the United States on notice: fueled by nationalistic aspirations, China is determined to acquire the most advanced military might in the world in as expeditious a fashion as possible.”—Michel Oksenberg, East-West Center
“The authors tell an absorbing and convincing tale of how this technologically backward and politically turbulent country managed to create workable advanced weapon systems.”—Foreign Affairs
“This is the second volume by the authors on China’a strategic weaponry—following China Builds the Bomb. . . . These books constitute landmark studies on the topic, and will be standard references for years to come.”—Choice
