Reviews

‘A succinct and timely book that explores Asia’s past and present and offers discerning arguments about its possible futures.’ Jurgen Haacke, London School of Economics and Political Science ‘Will Asia’s future be fractured, unified, or rebalanced? In Asian Crucible, Nick Bisley delivers a sweeping history and clear-eyed roadmap to the forces reshaping the region – and the choices that will define not only Asia’s destiny, but the world’s.’ Zack Cooper, American Enterprise Institute ‘Nick Bisley is one of the world’s most perceptive analysts of Asia. With clarity and authority, he illuminates both the dangers facing this pivotal region and the ways they might yet be managed.’ Brendan Taylor, Australian National University
