    About this ebook

    Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides’s Trap? by Graham Allison​​​​​​​ | Conversation Starters

    China has arrived as a superpower and America seems to have a hard time grasping this reality. The  US and China have to learn the skill to make adjustments to this global power shift. The law of Thucydides's Trap says that "when a rising power threatens to displace a ruling one, violence is the likeliest result." History shows that this situation has happened sixteen times and twelve of these led to war. China cannot be stopped anymore while America refuses to budge.

    Destined for War is cited by the New York Times as Notable Book of the Year. It is included in the 2018 Lionel Gelber Prize shortlist. It is also named by The Financial Times (London) as Best Book of the Year.
