Treachery

Więcej o książce

In this explosive new work, bestselling author Bill Gertz reveals the most pressing threat to U.S. national security: America's enemies, including radical terrorist groups, arming themselves with the world's most dangerous weapons, often facilitated by supposed allies. Gertz leverages his unique access to U.S. intelligence and defense communities to expose which nations prioritize greed over principles, making America’s adversaries more lethal. The book presents shocking details, including how Iraqi insurgents are equipped with weapons sold by France, Germany, and Russia, and how these nations overlook arms sales to rogue regimes like Iran and North Korea. It also highlights intelligence reports indicating that China supplied arms to al Qaeda post-9/11 and details the extent of Pakistan's nuclear proliferation network. Gertz provides classified insights into the cooperation between Russia, France, and Saddam Hussein, and how the U.S. has been compromised by lapses in security allowing enemies to exploit American technology. This comprehensive account not only details the alarming global arms proliferation but also critiques the U.S. government's responses and failures. With its wealth of classified information, this book is essential reading for understanding the growing dangers posed by international arms dealings.
