Editorial Reviews
Review
A Top Book of 2015 at The Globalist!
“Provocative, chilling, and never more timely, Peter Navarro cleverly details America’s single greatest foreign-policy challenge today: that of a rising China. From brewing tensions in the East and South China Seas and frightening moves in the all-so-stealthy cyberarena, to Beijing’s development of specific weapons platforms that challenge Washington’s ability to respond to a crisis in Asia, Navarro spells out in one easy-to-read volume all you need to know when it comes to China’s provocative challenge to the status quo. It is a must read.”
—Harry J. Kazianis, executive editor, National Interest, and senior fellow for defense policy, Center for the National Interest
“Crouching Tiger brings a rare, balanced, and brilliant perspective to the most formidable strategic challenge facing America—how to manage Beijing’s attempt to create a ‘new Chinese order.’ Navarro’s fact-based analysis strips bare this troubling issue even as he brings in the most eminent scholars in the field to offer a way forward. At stake are the principles that have stabilized Asia and guided world development for more than half a century.”
—Stefan Halper, director of American Studies, University of Cambridge, and author of The Beijing Consensus: Legitimizing Authoritarianism in Our Time
“Navarro makes a compelling case that trouble lies ahead in Asia, mainly because China is going to attempt to dominate that region the way the United States dominates the Western Hemisphere. China, in other words, is going to imitate Uncle Sam. Crouching Tiger is not only clearly and concisely written, but it also addresses almost every issue related to the question of whether China can rise peacefully. And that includes the counterarguments to Navarro’s position. This book is ideally suited for a wide audience.”
—John J. Mearsheimer, R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago
“Finally, a book that vividly illustrates how China’s relentless mercantilist attack on America’s industrial and technological bases is not just costing us millions of good-paying jobs, it also now threatens our very national security. The author’s compelling blueprint for a far-ranging national response to this mercantilist attack should be required reading.”
—Pat Mulloy, former commissioner, US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, and former Foreign Service Officer, US State Department
“This meticulously researched book lays bare the critical nexus between the ‘Made in China’ products we buy and the war machine an expansionist China is now assembling to seize territory from its Asian neighbors and drive the US out of the Western Pacific. With this book’s arrival—required reading for every American citizen—nobody can say we weren’t warned.”
—Dan Slane, commissioner, US-China Economic and Security Review Commission; former case officer, Central Intelligence Agency; and former White House advisor
“Penetrating the mystique of a rapidly reemerging China and its implications for global peace has seldom been as easy or as intriguing as the exegesis provided by Peter Navarro in Crouching Tiger. Posing forty-five salient questions, Navarro deputizes his readers to join his step-by-step Sherlockian investigation into whether it is possible—and ultimately why it is important to try—to avoid conflict with China.”
—Patrick M. Cronin, DPhil, senior director, Asia-Pacific Security Program
“A brilliant and clear-headed analysis of America’s general short-sightedness on China—including allowing US multinationals to utilize offshore production in order to benefit from Beijing’s export subsidies, sweatshops, forced labor, currency manipulation, and absent environmental controls. Of equal note is the frank unmasking of the kowtowing of the US media to China, rampant academic self-censorship, and, at dead center stage, the growing Chinese military threat now bearing down on Asia.”
—Hon. David Kilgour, JD, former Canadian Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific
“Crouching Tiger weaves together history, economics, geopolitics, ancient Chinese doctrines, and modern military strategy to assess the challenge of China’s military rise and its one-hundred-year quest for global supremacy. It should be read by everyone, from Pentagon strategists and members of Congress to American citizens and taxpayers.”
—Michael Pillsbury, director, Center on Chinese Strategy at the Hudson Institute; member, the Council on Foreign Relations and the International Institute for Strategic Studies; and author, The Hundred-Year Marathon: China’s Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower
“Peter Navarro’s provocative study thinks the unthinkable: a great power war between the United States and China in the not-so-distant future. Navarro systematically examines the underlying causes, the immediate triggers, and the possible trajectories of such a hypothetical conflict. In the process, he drives home the imperative to keep the peace through American strength. What sets this book apart from the booming literature on China’s rise is its appeal to the wider public. By drawing attention to the risks of a Sino-American strategic rivalry, Navarro’s work should spur much-needed debate on one of the most consequential challenges facing the United States.”
—Toshi Yoshihara, John A. van Beuren Chair of Asia-Pacific Studies, US Naval War College, and coauthor, Red Star over the Pacific: China’s Rise and the Challenge to US Maritime Strategy

What makes this book special: Peter Navarro's thought-provoking questions at the beginning of each section helps readers gain some knowledge of the strategic challenges facing America. China's secretive military plans are brought up to the surface and readers are now well aware of how important it is to not ignore what China has been doing behind the scenes. Even though Americans have a bright prospective of what is to come during the next few decades due to the peace offerings that China has to offer, this book informs readers through the answers given at the end of each chapter that China's promises can potentially be far from the truth.
As someone who didn't know much about the global affairs between America and China before reading this book, I believe that the research Navarro provided has definitely been informative and eye opening. It is an easy and must read for all!
It is understandable that for a popular non-fiction book, a certain level of sensationalism may help in reaching out to a wider audience. The author has certainly taken great consideration into the criticisms on the tone of his previous work "Death by China", and provides a much more balanced tone this time. While the questionnaires at the start of each chapter may feel a tad gimmicky to the more serious readers, it is certainly an effective writing mechanism that engages with the reader, making them think deeper about China's relationship with the world. If you are studying China's modern history, this book will definitely help to connect the dots between China's past and present.
In all, I'd highly recommend this book.
Between China and India nearly one in every four people alive on Earth live in those two countries. They are ignored at the peril of the rest of the world - we must understand them better - and we must engage them on their terms in the South China Sea. Peter Navarro understands and attempts to explain this in lay terms. It is more than just militarism. (less)
Overall, I would say that this book provides a very Americanized view of what China could be planning. I find it difficult to believe that this book could forecast China’s exact plans since the country is pretty private about their internal matters; readers should remember that when reading this book. Other than that, for Americans, this is definitely a must-read because this book provides a lot of insight on what the United States is doing wrong in terms of handling the China situation and how this might affect the U.S.’s global power in the future.

『マラソン』に比べればイデオロギー色が強くなく、軍事戦略の講義さながらに各章が質問に答える形で中国の脅威と衝突の可能性を明らかにしていきます。中でもそもそも中国とは旧ソ連と違って交渉の前提となるべき共通した価値観が存在しないという絶望的な指摘が人種差別ぎりぎりですがホントにコワいです。
意外だったのは作者が日本が今後どういう選択をするか結構気にしている(?)こと。米国と共に歩むのか、まさかの中国への鞍替えか、はたまた自ら核武装し独自路線を歩むのか。個人的には『マラソン』のレビューに書いた通り現状維持がベスト且つそれ以外あり得ないと考えます。
作者P. Navarroはトランプを大統領選挙中から支え現通商製造業政策局長、『マラソン』の著者M. Pillsburyも現国防省コンサルタントです。米国が覇権を賭けていよいよ中国と対峙し始めたのと決して無縁ではありません。必読です。

なると思います。また、米国の多数の中国研究者の知見が比較、検討されていることも注目できます。
