Title: Republican Propaganda
Product review: The book focuses more on beating down the Clinton-Gore Administration than Communist China's military. Much better are "The Coming Conflict With China" by Bernstein and Munro, "China Wakes" by Kristof and Wudunn, or anything by Lee Kuan Yew that pertains to the PRC for a more balanced and accurate depiction of China's leadership. At times, the book reads a preemptive strike on Al Gore for a possible 2004 presidential campaign. The gory picture of Chinese run over by tanks as well as oversimplified maps contributed little to the book's subject. As vast and complex a country is China, I was also disappointed a detailed map that showed every province wasn't included.I expected more hard data such as numbers of missles, fighter planes, warships, submarines, etc. versus those of the US military.
