Includes Author Dedication; Introduction: The World Shrinks as China Grows; Notes; Selected Bibliography; Acknowledgments and Index. "China, Inc. is the amazing story of how the slumbering Red giant woke up and, at warp speed, transformed itself into the greatest superpower of the very near future - with the biggest, tallest, longest, and fastest of just about everything there is. Fishman will forever change your view not just of China's place in the world - but of America's as well." - Craig Unger, author. "China Today is visible everywhere - in the news, in the economic pressures battering America, in the workplace, and in every trip to the store. Provocative, timely, and essential, this dramatic account of China's growing dominance as an industrial superpower by journalist Ted C. Fishman explains how the profound shift in the global economic order has occurred - and why it already affects us all. How has an enormous country once hobbled by overty and Communist ideology come to be the supercharged center of global capitalism? What does it mean that China now grows three times faster than the United States? That China uses 40 percent of the world's concrete and 25 percent of its steel? What is the global impact of 300 million rural Chinese walking off their farms and heading to the cities in the greatest migration in human history? Why do nearly all of the world's biggest companies now have large-scale operations in China? What does the corporate march into China mean for workers left behind in America, Europe, and the rest of the world? Meanwhile, what makes China's emerging corporations so dangerously competitive? What could happen when China will be able to manufacture nearly everything - computers, cars, jumbo jets, and pharmaceuticals - that the United States and Europe can, at perhaps half the cost? How do these developments reach around the world and straight into the lives of all Americans? These are ground-shaking questions, and China, Inc. provides answers. Veteran journalist and former commodities trader Ted C. Fishman paints a vivid picture of the megatrends radiating out of China. Fishman's account begins with th burgeoning output of China's vast low-cost factories and the swelling appetite of its 1.3 billion consumers, both of which are being driven by historically unprecedented infusions of foreign capital and technological know-how. Traveling through China's frenetic landscape of growth, Fisman visits the factories, markets, streets, stores, towns, and cities where the story of Chinese capitalism is being lived by one-fifth of all humanity. Fishman also draws on interviews with Chinese, American, and European workers, managers, and executives to show how China will force all of us to make big changes in how we think about ourselves as consumers, workers, citizens, and even as parents. The result is a richly engaging work of penetrating, up-to-the-minute reportage and brilliant analysis that will forever change how readers thing about America's future." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. Dan Bibb (jacket photograph) and Brendan Murphy (A Ilustrador. First Printing [Stated]. xii, 228 pages. Illustrations. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Contents are: The Veterans; Home Alone; Valor Transformed; Valor Denied; Valor in Protest; Valor Ignored; Valor Defended; and Our Own Buried Lives. The author of We Wrecked the Place chronicles the moving and startling tale of twenty Vietnam veterans who have remained or returned to Southeast Asia to live amid the battlefields of their youth, seeking redemption and refusing to return to a nation that cannot accept the sacrifices they made. Jonathan Stevenson is senior fellow for U.S. defense and managing editor of Survival at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). He was previously professor of strategic studies at the U.S. Naval War College, and he has served as director for political-military affairs, Middle East and North Africa, on the National Security Council. He is the author of several books, including Thinking Beyond the Unthinkable: Harnessing Doom from the Cold War to the Age of Terror and "We Wrecked the Place": Contemplating and End to the Northern Irish Troubles. The veterans are Jim Agnew, Alan Dawson, Isreal Freedman, Izzy Freedman, Denis Gray, Eric Herter, Glenn Holdhaus, Jeff Johnson, Stan Karber, Greg Kleven, L. C. Linder, Bill Maddox, Jeff McLaury, Keith Mishne, Douglas Peterson, Pete Peterson, Ken Richter, Andre Sauvageot, Chuck Search, Mark Smith, Les Strouse, Robert Taylor, and Mac Thompson. Derived from a Kirkus review: From the editor of international-affairs journal Strategic Survey, a sympathetic and insightful survey of American veterans who have taken up residence in Southeast Asia. For various reasons, the men Stevenson profiles are unable to extricate themselves from the experience of Vietnam. Whether haunted by guilty memories of acts they considered war crimes, driven by a need to heal and reconcile, or motivated by affectionate respect for the Vietnamese, many of Stevenson's vets returned in search of a personal fulfillment they could not find in the US. The reasons range from mundane to complex. One man cannot stop remembering the fleshly pleasures of Bangkok. A highly decorated career Special Forces officer stays in Southeast Asia because he won't give up what he considers an honorable fight in a just cause. Others, horrified by the war and the way it was fought, or tortured by its appalling images, have spent years trying to come to terms with their experiences. Some are involved in charitable or relief work in Asia. One veteran, a former acquaintance of Dean Rusk's, runs assistance programs for the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation from Hanoi. Another, alienated from American society, teaches English in Ho Chi Minh City. Some expatriates, more philosophical about the war, simply learned to like Vietnam and its people during their service; some pursue closer commercial ties between Vietnam and the US. While their reasons for their chosen exile and their opinions about the war's merit vary, Stevenson's vets commonly express anger and bitterness toward inept politicians and especially unappreciative fellow citizens. Without addressing the morality of the war itself, Stevenson argues that these men exemplified intrinsically important values of sacrifice, bravery, and fidelity to duty that the nation ignores at its peril in an increasingly dangerous world. A well-analyzed and evenhanded treatment of the survivors of America's most controversial conflict.
