The United States' approach to China since the Communist regime in Beijing that began the period of reform and opening in the 1980s was based on a promise that trade and engagement with China would result in a peaceful, democratic state. Forty years later, the hope of producing a benign People's Republic of China utterly failed. The Communist Party of China deceived the West into believing that its system and the Party-ruled People's Liberation Army were peaceful and posed no threat. In fact, these misguided policies produced the emergence of a Twenty-first Century Evil Empire even more dangerous than a Cold War version in the Soviet Union. Successive American presidential administrations were fooled by ill-advised pro-China policymakers, intelligence analysts, and business leaders who facilitated the rise not of a peaceful China but of a threatening and expansionist nuclear-armed communist dictatorship focused on a single overriding strategic objective: weakening and destroying the United States of America. Defeating the United States is the first step for China's current rulers in achieving global supremacy under a new world order based on an ideology of Communism with Chinese characteristics. Deceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China's Drive for Global Supremacy details the failure to understand the nature and activities of the dangers posed by China and what the United States can do in taking needed steps to counter the threats.
New York Times bestselling author and veteran Washington Times columnist explains how the United States can beat China, Russia, Iran, and ISIS in the coming information-technology wars.
America is at war, but most of its citizens don't know it.
Covert information warfare is being waged by world powers, rogue states-such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea-and even terrorist groups like ISIS. This conflict has been designed to defeat and ultimately destroy the United States.
This new type of warfare is part of the Information Age that has come to dominate our lives. In iWar, Bill Gertz describes how technology has completely revolutionized modern warfare, how the Obama administration failed to meet this challenge, and what we can and must do to catch up and triumph over this timely and important struggle.
In this explosive new book, acclaimed investigative reporter Bill Gertz reveals how terrorist organizations and enemy nations like Communist China, North Korea, Russia, and Cuba-not to mention some so-called friends-are taking advantage of gaping holes in America's defenses to steal our most vital secrets to use them against us. Gertz's unrivaled access to the U.S. intelligence and defense communities takes us deep inside the dark world of intelligence and counterintelligence-a world filled with lies, betrayal, and moles burrowing within the FBI, the CIA, the Pentagon, and even the White House.
In this explosive book, New York Times best-selling 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 United States has let it happen. 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.
"[Gertz] has access to more intelligence information than anyone I know."-Former Defense Secretary William S. Cohen
