Inscription on title page signed and dated by Ross H. Munro. Richard Bernstein (born May 5, 1944) is an American journalist, columnist, and author. He writes the Letter from America column for The International Herald Tribune. He was a book critic at The New York Times and a foreign correspondent for both Time magazine and The New York Times in Europe and Asia. In 1973, Bernstein joined the staff of Time magazine tasked with writing about Asia. In 1979, he opened the magazine's first bureau in the People's Republic of China and served as the first Beijing bureau chief. A distinguished writer and scholar, Ross H. Munro is co-author of The Coming Conflict with China, the widely hailed publication that was the first major book to argue that the People's Republic of China has emerged as America's most formidable rival. The book and Mr. Munro were subjected to one of the heaviest attacks by the P.R.C. media in years. The Coming Conflict with China (1997) was chosen as one of The New York Times "Notable Books of the Year 1997." An informed and illuminating examination of a high-stakes clash of competing ideologies and economic interests. From two former Beijing bureau chiefs with long experience in Asian affairs comes a clear-eyed and uncompromising look at the potentially disastrous collision course now taking shape in U.S.-China relations. Aggressively anti-American, China has nuclear weapons deliberately targeted at the United States. Recent confrontations between Chinese and American military forces indicate that China may try to take Taiwan by force. While our trade deficit rises to unprecedented heights, the powerful new china lobby shapes U.S. policy with the support of American businesses eager for a share of its booming markets. The Coming Conflict with China is required reading for those who wish to understand the tense global rivalry that is already shaping the course of the 21st century. Condition: Very good / Very good.
