A timely, provocative expose of our political and business leadership's deep ties to China: a network of people who believe they are doing the right thing--at a great often hidden cost to our society. The past few years have seen a shift in the relations between China and the United States, from enthusiastic economic partners to wary frenemies to open rivals. And China's successful handling of its pandemic will undoubtedly exacerbate this dynamic in the years to come. In America Second, Isaac Stone Fish traces the evolution of this all-important relationship. He makes clear how America's leaders initially welcomed China's entry into the global economy, believing that trade and engagement would lead to a more democratic China. And he explains how, though this belief has proved misguided, our businesspeople and politicians have become too dependent on China to challenge them. America Second exposes a deep web of Chinese influence in America, built quietly over the years through prominent

It was the age when heavy-footed, humorless dinosaurs roamed the hard-rock landscape. But that all changed when into these dazed and confused mid-70s strut-ted four flamboyant bands that reveled in revved-up anthems and flaunted a novel theatricality. In They Just Seem a Little Weird, veteran entertainment journalist Doug Brod offers an eye- and ear-opening look at a crucial moment in music history, when rock became fun again and a gig became a show. This is the story of friends and frenemies who rose, fell, and soared once more, often sharing stages, studios, producers, engineers, managers, agents, roadies, and fans-and who are still collaborating more than forty years on.In the tradition of David Brownes Fire and Rain and Sheila Wellers Girls Like Us, They Just Seem a Little Weird seamlessly interweaves the narratives of KISS, Cheap Trick, and Aerosmith with that of Starz, a criminally neglected band whose fate may have been sealed by a shocking act of violence. This is also the stor
