Einige spannende Kapitel aber zu sehr sprachlich bunt geschrieben.

Sehr interssant und aktuell. Obwohl das Buch bereits vor etwa 4 Jahren verfasst wurde, spiegelt es die aktuelle Situation, vor allem der USA, sehr gut wieder. Vorhersagen die der Autor bzgl des weiteren Vorgehns der USA gemacht hat sind, gerade unter Trump, genau so aufgetreten. Ein lohnenswertes Buch für alle, die sich fragen warum sich Südostasien über unbewohnte Inseln streitet, warum die USA davon genervt ist dass andere Länder viel weniger für ihr Militär ausgeben, und wie die Welt sich in den nächsten Jahrzehnten verändern könnte.
