🚨 second book claxon 🚨 *The Perimeter: America’s Struggle for Primacy in the Pacific* is now done, out in January, and available for pre-order 🤓 📖 🥳.

Re the cover, let me know what you think of the whole blue / yellow carrier theme, although obviously only if you don't hate it.

Did i mention pre-order?

Fun day yesterday taking @edwardfishman from @CFR_org into see some friends in govt, to talk about his brilliant book Chokepoints.

The building's most senior resident @Number10cat was fast asleep by the front door and didn't even look up. Clearly not a feline chokepoint himself….

@jordanschneider has produced his masterpiece. Pet Sounds for the China Hawks…. So very good.

Absolute must listen. Kudos to @hughlevinson @joepike et al at @BBC for getting them to speak on the record. @racheljupp.

I haven't heard Chris Cash speak before. His account, if accurate, only underlines what appears to be a pretty clear miscarriage of justice, in his case at least..

Ok so this is some proper The Bureau stuff here, if @dennisw5 thinks Alice Huang never existed.

Which reminds me about the show itself, and a fascinating thing I once learned.....
