The battle lines have been drawn. China has unleashed a new weapon of mass destruction on the world, and the US-led Coalition has no way to counter it. Sheltering in bunkers in the mountains south of Taipei, Taiwan's government considers suing for peace. Taiwanese fisherman, Lin Hungyu, may have the answer. But his neighbors think he is mad, and the military won't take his calls. Who will listen to him? After losses in the Taiwan conflict, the 68th Aggressor Squadron is stood down to rest and refit. Where will the war take them next? Or will war come to them instead?

Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show in this book, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today's trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past 30 years.

Will China back down, or double down? Will the fragile Western Coalition hold? Will regional conflict tip over into a global war? And what's next for the newly raised 68th Aggressor Squadron and the personnel of Aggressor Inc.?
