Publisher's Summary

Are China and the United States headed for war?

Yes, say best-selling 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.

Information is outdated

the presentation was good. The narrative was interesting however this book was first published in 2006 and the information seems outdated. International relations change at such a dizzying pace that'd just tough to keep up. A good read but I'm not sure it is as relevant in today's world.
