About this title

Synopsis

In Defending Taiwan, Eyck Freymann presents the first comprehensive and actionable strategy to prevent war with China and preserve an honorable peace. Freymann argues that Washington's deterrence strategy must extend beyond military means or threats of nuclear or economic mutually assured destruction. America also needs a bold new vision of technological and economic statecraft and a plan to secure its vital interests if deterrence fails. Urgent and indispensable, Defending Taiwan is the first true grand strategy to ensure lasting stability in the US-China relationship.
