The media often suggest that Russia poses the greatest threat to America's national security, but the real danger lies farther east. While those in power have been distracted and disorderly, China has waged a six-front war on America's economy, military, diplomacy, technology, education, and infrastructure--and they're winning. It's almost too late to undo the shocking, though nearly invisible, victories of the Chinese. In Stealth War , retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Spalding reveals China's motives and secret attacks on the West. Chronicling how our leaders have failed to protect us over recent decades, he provides shocking evidence of some of China's most brilliant ploys, including: - Placing Confucius Institutes in universities across the United States that serve to monitor and control Chinese students on campus and spread communist narratives to unsuspecting American students. - Offering enormous sums to American experts who create investment funds that funnel technology to China. - Signing a thirty-year agreement with the US that allows China to share peaceful nuclear technology, ensuring that they have access to American nuclear know-how. Spalding's concern isn't merely that America could lose its position on the world stage. More urgently, the Chinese Communist Party has a fundamental loathing of the legal protections America grants its people and seeks to create a world without those rights. Despite all the damage done so far, Spalding shows how it's still possible for the U.S. and the rest of the free world to combat--and win--China's stealth war.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780593084342","publication_date":"20191001","publisher":"Penguin Publishing Group","slug":"stealth-war","subtitle":"How China Took Over While America's Elite Slept","title":"Stealth War"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"POL011010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Diplomacy","score":0.8104,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL040020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World Politics","score":0.7824,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS037100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Cold War History","score":0.7657,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"POL011010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Diplomacy","score":0.8104,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL040020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World Politics","score":0.7824,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS037100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Cold War History","score":0.7657,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"BUS035000","confidence_band":"high","label":"International Business","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL011010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Diplomacy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL062000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Geopolitics","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Diplomacy","score":0.8104,"slug":"diplomacy"},{"label":"World Politics","score":0.7824,"slug":"world-politics"},{"label":"Cold War History","score":0.7657,"slug":"cold-war-history"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Diplomacy","Good for fans of China","Good for readers who enjoy Diplomacy and World Politics."],"related_lists":[{"intro":"","slug":"shelf-pol040020-world-general","title":"World General Books","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/shelf-pol040020-world-general"}],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["David Bryson","Brett Boles","Robert Spalding","Penguin Audio"],"book_id":"9780593331040","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593331040.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":15.7714,"title":"War Without Rules","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593331040"},{"authors":["Lindsey A.
