Showdown at Borders
Saturday, November 4, 3 p.m.
“China and the United States are headed for war” claim bestselling authors Jed Babbin, former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense, and Ed Timperlake, veteran defense analyst and former USMC fighter pitot. In their new book the authors make dear that China is the greatest and most dangerously ignored threat to U. S. national security. If the U. S. does not deter China’s aggressive ambitions, the result could be a global war.
In Showdown, Babbin and Timperlake reveal the latest developments in China’s quest to become a superpower and map out possible battlefields of what might become World War HI. They unveil China’s aggressive military buildup (more rapid than that of Nazi Germany before World War H) and expose how China is engaging in a new Cold War aimed at expanding its commercial and military reach at U. S. expense. Showdown reveals: the alliance between China and radical Islam; Chinese infiltration of Latin America, including oil-rich Venezuela; the possible effects of a Chinese attack on Taiwan; vulnerabilities of Japan and the U. S.; and, the likelihood of a second Korean War, with North Korea now having nuclear weapons.
Hugh Hewitt, nationally syndicated radio host and author of Painting the Map Red, comments, “With obvious authority and deep experience, Jed Babbin and Ed Timperlake take you through the facts of China’s armament frenzy...” Bill Gertz, Washington Times reporter and author of Enemies, says the book “is an important contribution to the debate on the alarming rise of China and its threatening military buildup. It shows why a future war with China is a growing danger and why understanding the threat is an urgent imperative if the United States is to meet the challenge.”
