In the Jaws of the Dragon
America's Fate in the Coming Era of Chinese Dominance
Eamonn Fingleton
St. Martin's Griffin/Thomas Dunne Books
“Eamonn Fingleton demonstrates once again why his analyses of modern capitalism deserve serious attention. As he has done before with Japan, he identifies the elements of China’s business model that depart sharply from easy Western assumptions—and he lays out the consequences of seeing China the way outsiders would like it to be, rather than the way it is.”—

Interesting Times
Writings from a Turbulent Decade
George Packer
Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks
"This volume coheres better than most in the genre. That's because Packer has a far more coherent worldview than most reporters . . .
Interesting Times
seems an inapt title, ironic and detached in ways that Packer is simply not. But his is the good kind of attachment, self-aware and self-reflective. He writes, 'One can only be honest about having a point of view while remaining open to aspects of reality—the human faces and voices—that might demolish it.' In his best work, reality is haunting, indeed."—

The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy
John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt
Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks
"Political theorists John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt show how the right to the pursuit of happiness presently enables foreign governments to exert adverse influence over foreign-policy questions of war and peace simply by coordinating the expression of private citizens' ostensible self-interest. Public-choice scholars and other curious individuals will relish the analysis and insights presented in

James Buchanan
The American Presidents Series: The 15th President, 1857-1861
The American Presidents
Jean H. Baker; Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., General Editor
Times Books
"Historians generally agree that James Buchanan was the worst U.S. president. After all, it was on his unhappy watch that the Union disintegrated. Far from wishing to rehabilitate Buchanan, Baker wants to bury him deeper in infamy. She brilliantly shows how Buchanan's mishandling of the mini-Civil War between pro- and anti-slavery factions in Kansas led to John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry and helped make the greater conflict inevitable, and how his vacillation and dithering allowed rebels to seize federal forts and arsenals across the South."—

The American Presidents Series: The 2nd President, 1797-1801
The American Presidents
John Patrick Diggins; Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., General Editor
Times Books
"Diggins acquits himself well in the shorter format of the American President series. Like McCullough, he spends time considering Adams in the light of political alter ego Thomas Jefferson, who lived as an aristocrat while speaking as a radical yet unfairly accused his sober-minded, eminently democratic opponent of being Caesar in the making . . . The solid interpretation of events will interest students of the presidency and the early republic."—

Lessons in Disaster
McGeorge Bundy and the Path to War in Vietnam
Gordon M. Goldstein
Holt Paperbacks
"For today's readers, what's most important about
Lessons in Disaster
is not the details of how the United States stumbled into a war without knowing where it was going; that story has been told in hundreds of other books. Goldstein's achievement is quite different: it offers insight into how Bundy, a man of surpassing skill and reputation, could have advised two presidents so badly. On the long shelf of Vietnam books, I know of nothing quite like it."—
