FROM THE PUBLISHER
"In his new book, New York Times bestselling author Bill Gertz uncovers the most significant threat to U.S. national security today: America's enemies - including radical terrorist groups - are arming themselves with the world's most dangerous weapons. And they're doing it with the help of America's supposed allies. Worst of all, the U.S. has let it all happen." "Using his unparalleled access to the U.S. intelligence and defense communities, Gertz names names, revealing which of our "friends" have placed greed over principle to make America's enemies far more deadly and the world a far more dangerous place. In Treachery, Gertz tells the whole story, complete with previously unpublished classified intelligence documents, and based on dozens of exclusive interviews with senior U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld." Only Bill Gertz has the contacts and the knowledge to tell the complete story of how France, Germany, Russia, China, and other countries have armed our enemies to the teeth. Treachery is also the definitive account of what the U.S. government is doing to counter the threat - and of how our leaders have too often failed us.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
In his New York Times bestseller Betrayal, Bill Gertz exposed the sorry state of America's foreign policy and military preparedness. Now, in The China Threat, Gertz reveals the tragic consequences of America's misguided foreign policy. Through missteps, fumbling, and outright appeasement, the United States has helped establish the People's Republic of China as a new global power that threatens American national security and world stability.

Shocking, previously unreported stories allow Gertz to tell the unvarnished truth: The Communist Chinese dictatorship has targeted the United States with an aggressive espionage campaign and aims to push America out of the Pacific with a barrage of ever-increasing military threats. In addition to his eye-opening revelations, Gertz offers a clearheaded strategy for countering the China threat.

Gertz lays out how the Chinese are adhering to Mao Zedong's famous maxim: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." And he shows how the barrel is pointed at the United States.
