This book brings historical analysis to fears of a naval arms race in the Asia-Pacific. The lesson of the second half of the Cold War shows the misleading effect of mirroring Western naval intent onto adversaries. By unpacking fears about the size of the Chinese navy and concentrating on Chinese intent, a historical pattern emerges of naval misperception. Guarding against this mirroring fallacy will improve decision-making on both sides.
