by Mike Pompeo
First published 2024
America faces a new Cold War with China, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo believes the solution lies in Reagan's simple formula: we win, they lose. Drawing from Ronald Reagan's 1977 declaration about Soviet policy and Donald Trump's 2017 recognition of great power competition, Pompeo argues that conservative principles offer the best path to victory. He contends that Washington still lacks a clear China strategy despite awakening to Beijing's challenge. The book presents what Pompeo calls a Trump-Reagan fusion approach to foreign policy. He addresses defense priorities, trade relationships, and American values while tackling threats from Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Pompeo examines alliance structures, institutional frameworks, border security, immigration policy, energy independence, and environmental concerns. His comprehensive strategy aims to equip both the Republican Party and the United States for decisive action in this emerging global contest.
