Description
In his explosive new book, New York Times bestselling 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 U.S. has let it all happen.
Using his unparalleled access to the U.S. intelligence and defense communities, Gertz names names, revealing which of our "friends" have placed greed over principle to make America's enemies far more deadly and the world a far more dangerous place. In Treachery, Gertz tells the whole story, complete with previously unpublished classified intelligence documents, and based on dozens of exclusive interviews with senior U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. In shocking detail, Treachery exposes:
โข How Iraqi insurgents are killing U.S. soldiers with weapons that France, Germany, and Russia sold them
โข How the French and German governments turn a blind eye to arms sales to rogue regimes and terrorist states like Iran, Syria, and North Korea How intelligence reports show that China supplied arms to al Qaeda after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America
โข The real story of why Libya dismantled its nuclear program-how U.S. intelligence caught the Libyans red-handed trying to smuggle in nuclear weapons technology
โข How Pakistan's nuclear proliferation network is even more extensive than has been reported
โข The CIA report revealing that al Qaeda is pursuing and may already have-nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons
โข The classified intelligence showing that Russia and France were cooperating with Saddam Hussein even after the 2003 Iraq war broke out
โข The full story of how Saddam exploited the United Nations "oil for,food" program, not only to line his own pockets but also to rebuild Iraq's weapons and missile programs
โข How U.S. security lapses have enabled our enemies to target Americans using our own weapons technology secrets
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.
