Are CHINA and the UNITED STATES headed for WAR?
Yes, say bestselling authors Jed Babbin (former deputy
undersecretary of defense) and Edward Timperlake (veteran
defense analyst) in this riveting new book that takes you
from the latest developments in China’s quest to become a
superpower to the possible battlefields of what might become
World War III.
Babbin and Timperlake unveil China’s aggressive military
buildup (more rapid than that of Nazi Germany before World
War II) and expose how China is engaging in a new Cold War
aimed at expanding its commercial and military reach at the
expense of the United States. Babbin (a former Air Force
JAG) and Timperlake (a former Marine fighter pilot) do more
than offer expert analysis. In dramatic Clancy-esque style,
they take you into the field with Navy SEALs and Air Force
bomber pilots, invite you inside the war councils at the
White House and the Pentagon, and peer within China’s own
Politburo in an exciting--and all too likely--series of war
scenarios.
In Showdown, Babbin and Timperlake reveal:
* The unholy alliance between Communist China and radical
Islam--and a possible war over Middle Eastern oil
* How China is infiltrating Latin America--including
oil-rich Venezuela--to create an anti-American axis
* How a Chinese attack on Taiwan could spark the biggest
war in the Pacific since World War II
* The vulnerability of Japan and the United States to
Chinese cyber-warfare
* The likelihood of a second Korean War . . . only this
time, the madmen in North Korea have nuclear weapons
As Babbin and Timperlake make clear, China is the
greatest--and most dangerously ignored--threat to America’s
national security. If America does not deter China’s
aggressive ambitions, the result could be global war.
Provocative, thrilling, and must-reading, Showdown is a
wake-up call for America.
