“As Sun Tzu once said, one must know one’s adversary as well as oneself to succeed. Today we all need a better understanding of the pacing challenge posed by the Chinese military. China’s Quest for Military Supremacy is current, comprehensive, and presents critical information in an easy-to-read style from two dedicated experts. This is a must-read for all military professionals and anyone who needs to learn about the People’s Liberation Army.” General James N. Mattis, USMC (ret.), 26th U.S. Secretary of Defense “The most comprehensive and detailed book to date on China's military development. A must-read for defense and military officials and a great reference for anyone who cares about peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.” Admiral (ret.) Lee Hsi-Min, 26th Chief of the General Staff, Republic of China (Taiwan) “An excellent primer on the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and a must read for those trying to understand the Chinese military.” Bonny Lin, Center for Strategic & International Studies “Saunders and Wuthnow deliver an accessible, balanced, and historically grounded overview of the People’s Liberation Army, its breathtaking modernization, and the challenges it faces realizing Beijing’s vision for its role in China’s emergence as a global leader in every domain.” Daniel Tobin, Senior Associate (non-resident), Freeman Chair in China Studies, Center for Strategic and International Studies “A master class on the Chinese military. Joel Wuthnow and Phillip Saunders deliver a mental accelerant for those seeking to get smart on the world’s most dangerous authoritarian war machine.
