What to expect

A warning about America’s impending war with China. The conflict is coming, a former Marine intelligence officer shows, and we’re not ready. But it’s not too late to prepare.

Communist China is ambitious. It wants to replace the United States as the world’s leading superpower. And it is well on its way. It is dominant in the world economy. It is a master at intellectual property theft. It shows strategic genius at cornering essential markets. It has been staggeringly successful in buying influence among American elites. And its military buildup is astonishing.

So far, China has been waging a cold war on the United States and its Asian allies. But, emboldened by American weakness and decline, that cold war is about to turn hot. The flashpoint will be Taiwan—but the war will extend over the entire Pacific Theatre. The results could be devastating.

America is facing the possibility of humiliating regional retreat—one with almost unimaginable costs to our economy and security. That’s the warning of Grant Newsham, a longtime China analyst for the Marine Corps, the Foreign Service, and Morgan Stanley Bank in Japan. His shocking new book When China Attacks is a fire bell in the night—a warning about an imminent hot war that we are already in the process of losing. It offers a frightening, but well-founded, blow-by-blow account of what might happen.

Is American defeat inevitable? No, but only if America’s leaders heed the sobering message of When China Attacks.

Critics Review

“Grant Newsham’s family intervention with the United States of America, a nation locked in a cycle of self-destructive behavior in its relationship with Communist China. It’s the brave effort of a man who has dedicated his life to American national security and studying the Chinese threat to wake us up before it is too late.”

Sam Faddis, retired CIA operations officer and senior editor of AND Magazine

“America’s war planners think China’s war planners think like America’s war planners. Not so! Grant Newsham shows us the horrific consequences that can result from American misperceptions of Chinese intentions and capabilities.”

Gordon Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China

“Will make you uncomfortable—but by design. China wars on a distracted U.S. without effective challenge. Taiwan is critically endangered, our era’s Sudetenland. Will we wake up and act in time?”

Wallace C. Gregson, lieutenant general (retired), former commander U.S. Marine Forces Pacific, and former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Asian and Pacific Security Affairs

“Newsham’s comprehensive description of China’s ‘whole of society’ approach to warfare…is edgy, well researched, convincing, and yes, it will make you uncomfortable—as it should!”

Robert Thomas vice admiral (retired), U.S. Navy, former Seventh Fleet commander

“Newsham…plumbs a new well of PRC experts who have not sold their souls to the Chinese Communist Party.”

Jim Fanell, captain (retired), U.S. Navy, former Director of Intelligence and Information Operations U.S. Pacific Fleet, fellow at Geneva Centre for Security Policy

“A must-read for anyone who cares about the future of U.S. power in the twenty-first century.”

Alexander B. Gray, former deputy assistant to the President of the United States and chief of staff of the White House National Security Council, 2019–2021

“Gripping, lucid, and jam-packed with strategic intelligence…A Marine Corps–style boot camp for your mind.”

Ian Easton, author of The Final Struggle: Inside China's Global Strategy
