At least twice in the past thirty years I have described to my grandson, Aaron, what I consider to be a remarkable fact of personal history. If I stand with my arms outstretched and hold my right hand with my daughter Jans left and she holds her right hand with Aarons left and then my mother, Lena, holds my left hand with her right hand and my grandfather James Henry Andersen, her father, holds her left hand with his right hand, there will be five immediately related people standing in a row stretching one hundred years. My grandfather was born in 1879 to my left and my grandson was born in 1979 to my right. I find this fact starkly but exhilaratingly interesting from a number of different perspectives.
Distinguished defense policy adviser Michael Pillsbury writes his bestselling book The Hundred-Year Marathon: China's Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower. In this book, Pillsbury writes about the past four decades that the United States has spent playing an indispensable role in helping China build their booming economy, develop their military and scientific capabilities, and finally take its place on the world stage.

Pillsbury poses this question: "What if the 'China Dream' is to replace us, just as America replaced the British Empire, without firing a shot?" His book The Hundred-Year Marathon is an alarming wake-up call as the United States faces the greatest national security challenge of our time.

In this innovative work Jean Hillier develops a new theory for students and researchers of spatial planning and governance which is grounded primarily in the work of Gilles Deleuze. The theory recognizes the complex interrelation between place qualities and the multiple space-time relational dynamics of spatial governance. Using empirical examples from England and Australia, Hillier identifies the power of networks and trajectories through which various actors territorialize space and explores the social and political responsibilities of spatial managers and decision-makers. She considers what spatial planning and urban management practices could look like if they were to be developed along Deleuzean lines, and suggests alternative framings for spatial practice: broad trajectories or 'visions' of the longer-term future and shorter-term, location-specific detailed plans and projects with collaboratively determined tangible goals.

One of the U.S. government's leading China experts reveals the hidden strategy fueling that country's rise – and how Americans have been seduced into helping China overtake us as the world's leading superpower. For more than forty years, the United States has played an indispensable role helping the Chinese government build a booming economy, develop its scientific and military capabilities, and take its place on the world stage, in the belief that China's rise will bring us cooperation, diplomacy, and free trade. But what if the "China Dream" is to replace us, just as America replaced the British Empire, without firing a shot? Based on interviews with Chinese defectors and newly declassified, previously undisclosed national security documents, The Hundred-Year Marathon reveals China's secret strategy to supplant the United States as the world's dominant power, and to do so by 2049, the one-hundredth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic. Michael Pillsbury, a fluent Mandarin speaker who has served in senior national security positions in the U.S. government since the days of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, draws on his decades of contact with the "hawks" in China's military and intelligence agencies and translates their documents, speeches, and books to show how the teachings of traditional Chinese statecraft underpin their actions. He offers an inside look at how the Chinese really view America and its leaders – as barbarians who will be the architects of their own demise. Pillsbury also explains how the U.S. government has helped – sometimes unwittingly and sometimes deliberately – to make this "China Dream" come true, and he calls for the United States to implement a new, more competitive strategy toward China as it really is, and not as we might wish it to be. The Hundred-Year Marathon is a wake-up call as we face the greatest national security challenge of the twenty-first century.
