Reviews
Praise for The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers "A lively and penetrating account of a party that has clung to secrecy as an inviolable principle." --The Washington Post "Fascinating. . . . Illuminating. . . . McGregor guides readers through recent events in China, teasing out what each tells us about the Party's role. . . . Reading this primer will help foreigners better navigate the hidden political shoals of the Chinese business world." --The Wall Street Journal "A masterful depiction of the party today. . . . McGregor illuminates the most important of the contradictions and paradoxes. . . . An entertaining and insightful portrait of China's secretive rulers." --The Economist "Few outsiders have any realistic sense of the innards, motives, rivalries, and fears of the Chinese Communist leadership. But we all know much more than before, thanks to Richard McGregor's illuminating and richly-textured look at the people in charge of China's political machinery. . . . Invaluable." --James Fallows, national correspondent for The Atlantic "Masterful. . . . McGregor's book is proof that for all of its secretive tendencies, the Party and its power can be usefully analyzed. . . . An accessible introduction to the Party's power in today's China." --Ian Johnson, The New York Review of Books, "The United States, China, and Japan form the power triangle that will shape much of the international politics in the 21st century. Richard McGregor's masterful The Party illuminated one corner of that triangle--China. In this important book he describes how the other two corners have interacted with China since World War II. Lucid, insightful and ominous, as the author describes big trouble ahead." --Eliot Cohen, author of Supreme Command "Richard McGregor's new book is essential reading for anyone worried about the most fraught relationship in Asia--between China and Japan. With extensive experience in and knowledge of both China, Japan, and the United States, McGregor is in a unique position to unpack the relationship and sort through the extensive propaganda and myth-making on all sides. A great read!" --John Pomfret, author of The Beautiful Country and the Middle Kingdom "McGregor distills years of meetings with high officials in China and Japan to give a vivid nuanced picture of their relations in the 21st century." --Ezra Vogel, author of Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China "An in-depth depiction of radical changes and challenges in Japan-China relations in the post-war period, thoroughly researched and rich in storytelling. In the course of tumultuous relations with China, Japan has had to trail blaze in the face of the rise of China. Japan's naked exposure to the unfolding Realpolitik with China at its core is for the first time comprehensively reviewed." --Yoichi Funabashi, former Editor-in-Chief, Asahi Shimbun Praise for The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers "A lively and penetrating account of a party that has clung to secrecy as an inviolable principle." --The Washington Post "Fascinating. . . . Illuminating. . . . McGregor guides readers through recent events in China, teasing out what each tells us about the Party's role. . . .

An accessible introduction to the Party's power in today's China." --Ian Johnson, The New York Review of Books

Synopsis
A Financial Times Best Book of 2017 "A shrewd and knowing book." --Robert D. Kaplan, The Wall Street Journal "A compelling and impressive read." -- The Economist "Skillfully crafted and well-argued." --Jeffrey Wasserstrom, Financial Times "An excellent modern history. . . . provides the context needed to make sense of the region's present and future." --Joyce Lau, South China Morning Post A history of the combative military, diplomatic, and economic relations among China, Japan, and the United States since the 1970s--and the potential crisis that awaits them Richard McGregor's Asia's Reckoning is a compelling account of the widening geopolitical cracks in a region that has flourished under an American security umbrella for more than half a century. The toxic rivalry between China and Japan, two Asian giants consumed with endless history wars and ruled by entrenched political dynasties, is threatening to upend the peace underwritten by Pax Americana since World War II. Combined with Donald Trump's disdain for America's old alliances and China's own regional ambitions, east Asia is entering a new era of instability and conflict. If the United States laid the postwar foundations for modern Asia, now the anchor of the global economy, Asia's Reckoning reveals how that structure is falling apart. With unrivaled access to archives in the United States and Asia, as well as to many of the major players in all three countries, Richard McGregor has written a tale that blends the tectonic shifts in diplomacy with bitter domestic politics and the personalities driving them. It is a story not only of an overstretched America, but also of the rise and fall and rise of the great powers of Asia. The about-turn of Japan--from a colossus seemingly poised for world domination to a nation in inexorable decline in the space of two decades--has few parallels in modern history, as does the rapid rise of China--a country whose military is now larger than those of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and southeast Asia's combined. The confrontational course on which China and Japan are set is no simple spat between neighbors: the United States would be involved on the side of Japan in any military conflict between the two countries. The fallout would be an economic tsunami, affecting manufacturing centers, trade routes, and political capitals on every continent. Richard McGregor's book takes us behind the headlines of his years reporting as the Financial Times 's Beijing and Washington bureau chief to show how American power will stand or fall on its ability to hold its ground in Asia., A Financial Times Best Book of 2017 "A shrewd and knowing book." --Robert D.
