1/4: America Second: How America's Elites Are Making China Stronger  by Isaac Stone Fish @isaacstonefish.  Hardcover – Deckle Edge, February 15, 2022  
https://www.amazon.com/America-Second-Americas-Elites-Stronger/dp/0525657703/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
In America Second, Isaac Stone Fish traces the evolution of the Party’s influence in America. He shows how America’s leaders initially welcomed China’s entry into the U.S. economy, believing that trade and engagement would lead to a more democratic China. And he explains how—although this belief has proven misguided--many of our businesspeople and politicians have become too dependent on China to challenge it.
 
America Second exposes a deep network of Beijing’s influence in America, built quietly over the years through prominent figures like former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright, the Disney chairman Bob Iger, and members of the Bush family. It also shows how to fight that influence–without being paranoid, xenophobic, or racist. This is an authoritative and important story of corruption and good intentions gone wrong, with serious implications for not only the future of the United States, but for the world at large.
