Growing up as the son of a poor dock worker in China, Lee Chang never thought he’d be where he is today: an internationally recognized PhD psychologist about to wed a smart, beautiful Italian medical doctor, Anna, after completing a three-year effort supporting the World Health Organization’s COVID relief efforts. But this changes in an instant as his fiancée pulls him from the boarding line at the airport with shocking news.
An hour later the flight he would have been on crashes into the Alps. Lee and Ann flee for their safety learning that he was the target of the sabotage. The knowledge he gained initiating one of China’s most successful and clandestine intelligence operations against the United States more than a decade ago cannot be allowed to fall into foreign hands. Lee must be stopped at all costs.
He thought that his life’s work to define Martin Luther King’s “Content of Their Character” would help people make better choices in life. Instead his government is using the knowledge to exploit those of weak character to undermine their own society. Desperate and afraid Lee and Ann must find a way to avoid capture and start a new life. Just when they are beginning to feel safe the unthinkable happens

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Lee Chang was a smart, hardworking young boy with an inquisitive mind. Unfortunately, as the son of a poor dock worker in a busy port in China, his future was limited. But his patriotic instincts were triggered by China's frantic reports of the imminent capitalistic threat to their homeland following the Tiananmen Square riots, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the breakup of the Soviet Union. This fueled his high school essay to use martial arts principles for China to defend itself from economically superior foes. His paper, called Asymmetric Warfare, caught the attention of Chinese intelligence services, who supported his university and graduate education. But while at university Lee was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" vision, Lee's PhD research developed a method to objectively identify people of strong character to improve personnel choices in business and government. But his sponsors saw this as the key to exploit character weaknesses in American citizens to use them as pawns to undermine their own society. At first, Lee was flattered that his work was being taken seriously by his government. It took years for Lee to fully understand the extent of their misuse of his academic work. By then, he had fallen in love with an Italian medical doctor, Anna Valenti, who worked with him on a multi-year international effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Disenchanted by his situation in China, Lee proposed to Anna with a plan to leave his work in China and start a family with Anna in Italy. Unfortunately, he found that starting a new life would not be as easy as he thought. Blending espionage, psychology, international politics, love and redemption, Asymmetric Warfare is a timely geopolitical thriller about character, power, and the invisible wars fought before a single shot is fired. Misuse of his academic work by Chinese intelligence puts his life at risk. He and his bride to be must flee and seek a new life. This item is printed on demand.
