The Millennium War
At 06.00 on February 18, 2001, the roar of the engines from twelve Russian-built SU-27s rip through Vietnamese airspace. Within minutes burning phosphorus, shrapnel, and delayed action mines are falling on Vietnam's main naval base. Operation Dragonstrike has begun. The Far East is at war. The world is in crisis. Four days later American satellites detect Chinese nuclear missiles being prepared for launch.
This is an authentically and authoritatively constructed thriller in which the United States, Asia, and Europe become dramatically and unavoidably enmeshed in the war. It has the page-turning quality of bestselling fiction, yet the events here make up a real-life scenario which horrifies Western defence planners.
