Naval Institute Press
In 2014, Robert Haddick was one of the early authors to suggest the U.S. public and many foreign policy experts were unaware of the threat China’s military modernization and buildup posed to U.S. national interests. In this second edition of Fire on the Water: China, America, and the Future of the Pacific, Haddick brings the reader up to today’s balance of power. Much has transpired in nine years, and the stakes are even higher now.
“Robert Haddick has once again produced a superb study on the intensifying Sino-American rivalry. His unsparing judgments about outmoded U.S. military strategies are sure to stir debate while his urgent calls for defense reforms ought to jolt the policy community into action. For those looking for creative yet sensible ideas to meet China’s challenge, this is the go-to book.”
—Toshi Yoshihara, senior fellow, Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, and coauthor of Red Star over the
Pacific: China’s Challenge to U.S. Maritime Strategy, 2nd ed.
