Chaos Under Heaven
The explosive, behind-the-scenes story of Donald Trump's high-stakes confrontation with Beijing, from an award-winning Washington Post columnist and peerless observer of the U.S.-China relationship
Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionChaos Under Heaven by Josh Rogin delves deeply into the tumultuous and high-stakes confrontation between the United States and China during the Trump administration. This riveting narrative captures the intense dynamics and power struggles that defined the U.S.-China relationship, revealing a blend of diplomacy, strategy, and rivalry. Through exclusive interviews and unprecedented access to key political figures, Rogin paints a vivid picture of the geopolitical battle that reshaped the global landscape.
The story begins with Donald Trump's unexpected victory in the 2016 Presidential election, an event that shattered the precarious equilibrium between the two superpowers. What follows is a dramatic exploration of Trump's often polarising interactions with Chinese President Xi Jinping. As the narrative unfolds, readers are brought into the inner sanctums of power where decisions were made that have far-reaching consequences for international relations.
From the onset of a trade war to the more personal moments of Trump's praise and critique of Xi, the book chronicles a love-hate relationship that frequently pushed the world towards the brink of a new Cold War. The escalating tension is illustrated by the handling of major events, including the COVID-19 outbreak originating in Wuhan, which further strained ties between the two nations. Rogin meticulously documents the policy shifts, the heated debates, and the strategic manoeuvres that characterised this period.
Chaos Under Heaven uncovers the explosive, behind-the-scenes decisions and actions that disrupted the longstanding U.S.-China relationship. Rogin's award-winning journalism provides a clear-eyed analysis of how the Trump administration's approach to China not only influenced the bilateral relationship but also had profound implications for global politics. With a new afterword featuring an exclusive interview with former President Trump, the book offers additional insights and reflections on the lasting impact of these historic events.
This compelling and authoritative account is crucial for understanding the complexities and future implications of U.S.-China relations. Whether you're a student of political science, a history enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys a gripping political drama, Chaos Under Heaven is an indispensable read.
