Kissinger is worth reading too, especially Diplomacy.
Other users here have mentioned Robert Kagan. I love the man, but he's more American cheerleader than FP analyst.

It's about who sets the rules of international trade and who benefits, if china becomes powerful the US can't impose its laws and values on the world.
