by Jed Babbin and Edward Timperlake
Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 1596980052
Hardcover - 256 pages (May 2006)
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.
