Fire in the East

the rise of Asian military power and the second nuclear age

Edición de la obra Fire in the East

In this book, Professor Bracken reveals new details about the Iraqi missile and biological warfare program, showing how close Israel actually came to a germ attack during the Gulf War; explodes the comforting Western belief that "globalization" will inevitably lead Asian nations into peaceful economic competition. In fact, he says, it works the other way: economic progress both spurs and makes possible the development of weapons of mass destruction; shows how American bases, allies, and interests are increasingly endangered by Asian nationalism; and teaches us how to navigate not the post-cold war era, but what he names The Second Nuclear Age. Professor Bracken provides a new intellectual framework for a world in which being the only superpower poses as many dangers as it does opportunities. Fire in the East is a template for thinking about the future in the new global order.
