[Elie-Joe Dergham · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book explores the covert influence operations by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Canada and its implications for both Canada and the United States. The book uses a narrative driven by real-life intelligence, investigative journalism, and firsthand accounts to detail how the CCP has methodically expanded its influence through espionage, economic leverage, and political manipulation. The book is an eye-opening read that brings into sharp relief the nature of modern geopolitical threats. It's a critical piece for understanding the less visible forms of warfare and how they can subtly alter the political and social landscape of democracies. While it might benefit from a more balanced view of the situation, its contribution to the discourse on national security and foreign influence is undeniable.
