“The Great Heist is an alarming exposé of China's relentless campaign to steal America's intellectual property and data. However bad you think the problem is, the truth is far worse. David Shedd and Andrew Badger use their expertise as seasoned former intelligence officers to explain how China's systematic theft of our secrets puts every American at risk. This is a must-read for anyone concerned about our greatest national security threat.” — Senator Tom Cotton, bestselling author of Seven Things You Can't Say About China ""A must-read for anyone concerned about national security and American competitiveness. Superbly written. Engagingly enjoyable and deeply sobering in equal measure, The Great Heist is a masterful telling of why, and how, for two decades, the PRC exploited the weaknesses inherent in our open society to perpetrate the most successful campaign of industrial espionage in history, and emerge today as the greatest threat to that very way of life. Read the book, but buckle up. It's a frightening ride."" — Neil R. Wiley, former Chair, National Intelligence Council, and former Principal Executive, Office of the Director of National Intelligence “The Great Heist exposes the sweeping infiltration of Chinese espionage across America’s technology and economy. Through gripping, well-documented cases of high-stakes industrial theft, this book lays bare the methods, motives, and scope of a covert campaign targeting the heart of U.S. innovation. Meticulously researched, The Great Heist reveals the true scale of the hidden battle for economic supremacy.” — Michael Pillsbury, author of The Hundred Year Marathon “In The Great Heist, David Shedd and Andrew Badger show us why every citizen should care deeply about the People's Republic of China's sustained campaign of industrial espionage against America. In this riveting and astounding story of duplicity and complacency, the authors have done their part to defend the United States from a hostile, ruthless rival. Read this book and demand that leaders in government, the private sector, and academia do their part to stop the Chinese Communist Party from stealing our future.” — H.R. McMaster, bestselling author of Dereliction of Duty, Battlegrounds, and At War with Ourselves “America and China are locked in a technological arms race that may be determined by our ability to protect our own IP. The Great Heist is mandatory reading for anyone looking to understand how stolen American IP helped underwrite China’s economic rise and why we must learn from these mistakes to ensure that American leadership in advanced technologies like AI and quantum doesn’t power China’s techno-totalitarian state.” — Mike Gallagher, Head of Defense at Palantir and former U.S. Representative
