Overview

China often dominates the headlines in negative ways with carrier killing missiles, drone swarms, militarizing islands and new jet fighters. These fearful perceptions and click bait titles are often published without providing basics or background about geography, how to assess weapons, or the doctrine of Chinese and American forces. Dragon's Claws with Feet of Clay: A Primer on Modern Chinese Strategy overcomes those limitations. Using an intimate knowledge of Chinese history and military theory as well as current events, doctrine, and hardware being developed, military historian Morgan Deane explains foundational concepts such as technical capabilities and likely use for major weapon systems, the relationship between history and geography in East Asia, a discussion on likely Chinese strategy and implementation of Sun-Tzu's theories, and assessment of US counter measures, as well as the training of both US and Chinese forces. During a time of continued international tension this book is vital for developing a reasoned assessment of potential dangers and counter measures, most importantly the reader will be able to see through the scare mongering rhetoric of policy makers and politicians to offer their own measured opinion of current events.
