Haunted by Chaos
Sulmaan Wasif Khan, Haunted by Chaos: China's Grand Strategy from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping (Harvard University Press, 2018)
Summary: The best single-volume narrative of China's search for its place in the world — or, rather, its effort to secure that place. Simply masterful.
Key Quote: "At a very fundamental level, Chinese grand strategists have been successful in the goal they set—and this success was by no means certain." - p. 244
Bottom Line: Read this book if you want to understand China's foreign policy.
