A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR SHORT-LISTED FOR THE 2018 LIONEL GELBER PRIZE NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY: FINANCIAL TIMES * THE TIMES (LONDON) * AMAZON

"Allison is one of the keenest observers of international affairs around."-- JOE BIDEN, former vice president of the United States

China and the United States are heading toward a war neither wants. The reason is Thucydides's Trap: when a rising power threatens to displace a ruling one, violence is the likeliest result. Over the past five hundred years, these conditions have occurred sixteen times; war broke out in twelve. Today, as an unstoppable China approaches an immovable America, and both Xi Jinping and Donald Trump promise to make their countries "great again," the seventeenth case looks grim. A trade conflict, cyberattack, Korean crisis, or accident at sea could easily spark a major war.
In Destined for War, eminent Harvard scholar Graham Allison masterfully blends history and current events to explain the timeless machinery of Thucydides's Trap--and to explore the painful steps that might prevent disaster today.

" A] must-read book in both Washington and Beijing."-- NIALL FERGUSON, BOSTON GLOBE

" Allison is] a first-class academic with the instincts of a first-rate politician."-- BLOOMBERG NEWS

" Full of] wide-ranging, erudite case studies that span human history . . . A] fine book."-- NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Ok product for average shape
Size: Large, Color: White
ok for the price but didn't work out for us. I had one guy whose body is thick and one who is thin. Couldn't get the set to fit on top and bottom at the same time, pants were a lil see through, but still decent quality and price.

Perfect Sports Coat
Color: Champagne, Size: 5, Color: Champagne, Size: 5
OMG! Perfect buy and fit! I was hesitant at first but boy am I glad I took a chance with this purchase! True to size, great quality, durable, and very appealing! My grandson weighs 43 pounds can wear 5t shirts and some 5/6 shirts and is on the thinner build side. He wanted a blazer to rock his cowboy boots and hat and this was A PERFECT addition to his selected outfit

Great sport coat
Color: Light Grey, Size: 4
This sport coat is incredibly classy and a sharp fit. The color and material is quite nice and it is well sewn for the price. It is dressy enough to be used as an evening jacket, and a good weight to not be too hot. I will be ordering it in more colors as my son loves it and enjoys how sharp he looks.

High quality

High quality! I was shocked when we opened this.. it is very nice for the price and much less than a department store. Washed well and no shrinkage. Looks great, too!
