Publisher's Note
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists and authors of China Wakes comes this insightful and comprehensive look at Asia on the rise. The recent economic crisis in Asia heaped devastation upon millions. Yet Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn argue that it was the best thing that could have happened to Asia. It destroyed the cronyism, protectionism, and government regulation that had been crippling Asian business for decades, and it left in its wake a vast region of resilient and determined millions poised to wrest economic, diplomatic and military power from the West. Thunder from the East is a riveting look at a complex region, a fascinating panoply of compelling characters, and a prophetic analysis from arguably the West's most informed and intelligent writers on Asia.
Industry reviews
"...Mr. Kristof and Ms. WuDunn have given us an impressive and well-researched study of the world's most important area. Their insights are illuminated by their good reporting." New York Times - Frank Gibney (09/22/2000) "WuDunn is the more elegant writer. Kristof the more ferocious reporter. Their combined work yields a most memorable portrait of modern Asia." New York Times Book Review - Robert Kagan (10/01/2000) "Writing in alternate chapters...the authors break their subject into the sort of intellectual bites one might find in an international relations class [and] They explore each topic through a series of the people they have met over the years. Such an approach not only allows for a bracing amount of perplexity and ambiguity, it also makes for terrific reading." Industry Standard - Luke Mitchell (10/02/2000)
