'Australia is on the front lines of the global struggle between China and the West over democratic values, and Peter Hartcher, one of the country's foremost journalists, presents a clear-eyed and utterly frightening account of the challenge we face. Highly recommended.' -- Francis Fukuyama, author of The Great Disruption 'Hartcher's clear-eyed analysis of the Australia-China relationship is as keen as it is unsettling.' -- Malcolm Turnbull, former Prime Minister of Australia 'Hartcher's analysis of Australia's place in the world is sharp and tenacious. He continues to make an outsized contribution to our democracy.' -- Penny Wong
