Editorial Review: Product Description
Written side-by-side in English and Chinese, The Dragon and The Eagle is a provocative allegory featuring imagined conversations between two world superpowers: China and America. From the new global economy to philosophical, cultural and ethical issues, every chapter illuminates the critical concerns confronting China and America today and their respective visions for the future. This fictional narrative shows how East and West can - and must - work together to survive and thrive in today's international marketplace. The Eagle, perched on a mountaintop in the West, notices a huge shape looming in the East, and flies over for a closer look. It turns out to be a potential enemy, The Dragon, who invites The Eagle to join him, thus triggering frank discussions about business, philosophy, ethics, culture, and education. It turns out that despite their many differences, these perceived enemies share much in common.

Summary: Interesting and Informative.... I liked it!
Date: 2008-11-10 -
Comment: The Dragon is awakening. We notice everyday that China has a stronger and stronger presence in our lives. The more we know and understand this culture, the better interaction we will have with the Chinese people as we "grow together". This book was a wonderful read. The story was presented as a dialogue between the Chinese Dragon and the American Eagle. The unique writing format left no question as to who was speaking and also allowed for quick reading so as not to miss any of the ideas or philosophies presented by either icon. Facts presented on China's history, culture, and it's path into the future were enlightening. The conversation flowed and I felt that I was actually a part of it.
I was very pleased to read that Mr. Waitley plans on continuing to enlighten curious readers with more books in this ongoing series. My thanks to Mr. Waitley and to all who contributed in the writing of this book.

Summary: The differences between China and USA - for dummies!
Date: 2008-08-27 -
Comment: If you're like me, and probably most "Eagles" (a.k.a. Americans), you don't have the time or inclination to spend years studying up on the Chinese and what makes their culture "tick". This book is like a "for dummies" book. It gives you an easy overview of the differences between our cultures and how we can learn from those differences. Frankly, it whet my appetite for more information. I really enjoyed knowing that this wasn't just a book for Americans. It's written simultaneously in Chinese, so these words of wisdom can be shared with that culture as well. This book is excellent for someone thinking of expanding their business in China or wanting to understand the Chinese culture better!

Summary: An Insightful and Entertaining Fable!
Date: 2008-08-25 -
Comment: Since the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, I have become increasingly intrigued with the Chinese culture. This book is an enlightening look at the differences and similarities of the U.S. and China from a philisophical, social, and economic perspective. Plus, having the Chinese language right there on the opposite page made me feel that this book could provide insight to both cultures on the other. A great read!
