Encountering The Dominant Player: U.S. Extended Deterrence Strategy in the Asia-Pacific (1991) By William T. Tow
 
According to Tow, US defense policy has lost touch with the forces of change in the Asia-Pacific. Even as political and strategic developments in the area demand greater American sensitivity to regional security priorities, Washington continues to apply an outdated, irrelevant global deterrence posture.

He discusses the roles of China, the USSR, New Zealand, and the Philippines, concluding with recommendations for enhancing US strategic influence. Annotation
