“Deftly written, Chokepoints is a compelling and dramatic narrative about the new shape of geopolitics.”
\u2014 Daniel Yergin, The Wall Street Journal<\/p>\n

“A timely, riveting world tour…[An] absorbing book.”
\u2014 The Economist<\/p>\n

\u201cRemarkable…One of the most important books on economic warfare ever written.\u201d
\u2014 Paul Kennedy, author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers<\/p>\n

The epic story of how America turned the world economy into a weapon, upending decades of globalization to take on a new authoritarian axis\u2014Russia, China, and Iran.<\/p>\n

It used to be that ravaging another country\u2019s economy required blockading its ports and laying siege to its cities. Now all it takes is a statement posted online by the U.S. government.<\/p>\n

In Chokepoints, Edward Fishman, a former top State Department sanctions official, takes us deep into the back rooms of power to reveal the untold history of the last two decades of U.S. foreign policy, in which America renounced the gospel of globalization and waged a new kind of economic war. As Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Ayatollah Khamenei wreaked havoc on the world stage, mavericks within the U.S. government built a fearsome new arsenal of economic weapons, exploiting America\u2019s dominance in global finance and technology. Successive U.S. presidents have relied on these unconventional weapons to address the most pressing national-security threats, for good and for ill.<\/p>\n

Chokepoints provides a thrilling account of one of the most critical geopolitical developments of our time, demystifying the complex strategies the U.S. government uses to harness the power of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Big Oil against America\u2019s enemies. At the center of the narrative is an eclectic group of policy innovators: the diplomats, lawyers, and financial whizzes who\u2019ve masterminded America\u2019s escalating economic wars against Russia, China, and Iran.<\/p>\n

Economic warfare has become the primary way the United States confronts international crises and counters rivals. Sometimes it has achieved spectacular success; other times, bitter failure. The result we live with today is a new world order: an economic arms race among great powers and a fracturing global economy. Chokepoints is the definitive account of how America pioneered this new, hard-hitting style of economic war\u2014and how it\u2019s changing the world.
