Hello, I'd like to make a request for a new book to be added, relevant information is below. Please let me know if I can provide any further information.
Title: Study No. 8, Chinese Amphibious Warfare: Prospects for a Cross-Strait Invasion
Author(s) name(s): Andrew S. Erickson, Conor M. Kennedy, Ryan D. Martinson
ISBN (or ASIN): 978-1-935352-86-0
Publisher: China Maritime Studies Institute, U.S Naval War College, Naval Institute Press
Publication Date Year: 2024
Publication Date Month: November
Publication Date Day: 07
Page count: 525
Format (such as paperback, hardcover, ebook, audiobook, etc): Description: Through concerted efforts over the past quarter-century, the People's Republic of China has achieved the most dramatic military buildup since World War II. Previously limited in its ability to conduct its Joint Firepower Strike, Joint Blockade, and Joint Island Landing Campaigns against Taiwan, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is making rapid progress across the board as it prepares to meet the requirements of Xi Jinping’s Taiwan-focused Centennial Military Building Goal of 2027. Drawing on research, writing, and insights from some of the world’s leading experts, CMSI’s latest edited conference volume probes key questions concerning Beijing’s determined pursuit of the Chinese Communist Party’s ultimate political and strategic prize: How might the PLA attempt to execute a Joint Island Landing Campaign to achieve a cross-Strait invasion of Taiwan, what might be its prospects for success, and what must Taiwan—with American support—do urgently to shore up deterrence? The findings are nuanced but bracing. The saving grace, till now, is that Taiwan enjoys formidable defensive geography, and a large-scale amphibious invasion is one of the most difficult military operations to accomplish. However, under Xi’s concerted directives, China’s military is reforming relentlessly, bringing critical new capabilities to bear, and training tirelessly to improve its ability to carry out the operations on which it is bore-sighted. The stakes could scarcely be higher, and the clock is ticking.
