"The Decisive Decade is cautionary and optimistic. Ward shows a path for America and the Free World to win the contest with the Chinese Communist Party. He calls for rebuilding American economic, industrial, and technological might and identifies the technologies, industries, countries, and regions that are most consequential. This book is a call to action for all, but especially for business executives. Just as American military officers plan and execute the combat missions to win battles, corporate officers must plan and execute business strategies that enhance our security, promote prosperity, and help the Free World prevail in the most consequential competition of this century.
-From the Foreword by Lt. General H.R. McMaster (US Army, Ret.), Former US National Security Advisor "Building upon his groundbreaking work, China's Vision of Victory, Jonathan Ward lays out a comprehensive American grand strategy for competition with China in The Decisive Decade. Dr. Ward shows the critical role of economic power in US strategy both in our past victories and in our present competition with China. His exploration of the crucial role of American business and finance in strategic competition, the conversion of economic might into military power, and his global vision of a revitalized American-led order all ring urgent and true. The Decisive Decade should be read by both parties in Congress, as well as in American boardrooms, in Allied governments, and across the United States. This is the first book-length effort to show us how to flat out win this contest with the People's Republic of China."
-Senator Jon Kyl "The Decisive Decade is a wake-up call to all Americans. Jonathan Ward offers not only a diagnosis of the urgent problem but also a prescription for future success if we act now. Mobilizing America's key strengths, especially our economic dynamism and global alliance system, can enable us to create the world we want to leave our grandchildren."
-Mike Brown, Former Director, Defense Innovation Unit, US Department of Defense; Former CEO, Symantec Corporation "The Decisive Decade is the clearest, most coherent and comprehensive articulation of the breadth and depth of our existential challenge with China and the means to a solution. A rare compendium of the diverse threats-economic, diplomatic, and military-and the need for a decades-long government and business world commitment to a campaign. This is not just the Cold War redux. It is more and it is multi-dimensional. Jonathan Ward makes it clear that superlatives and declarations in national and defense security strategies have not and will not be enough. The call to action is for Washington, Silicon Valley, and Wall Street."
-Admiral Jonathan Greenert (US Navy, Ret.), Former Chief of US Naval Operations "Jonathan Ward has written a stimulating and provocative account of the US-China relationship in the coming few years, with data and statistics that will help inform readers, particularly on the US-China business relationship. Whatever your conclusions may be about these issues, you will find plenty to make you think in this lively and engaging book."
-Rana Mitter, Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China, University of Oxford "In The Decisive Decade, Ward reminds us that America and its allies have all the tools necessary to defend liberty against Beijing's hollow despotism. The ingredient urgently needed now, which Ward has in spades, is the will to act."
-Matt Pottinger, Former US Deputy National Security Advisor "An insightful analysis of one of the most important geopolitical relationships in the 21st century. Ward builds upon his exposition of the Chinese Communist Party strategy that guides the rise of China and presents a compelling
