Samenvatting:

InFire in the East, Paul Bracken details how emboldened Asian countries have stepped up their pursuit of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons and the vehicles necessary to carry them far beyond their borders. With the Western hegemony of advanced weapons technology over, America is for the first time vulnerable and stands to see its role in international politics diminished from assertive global leader to a reactive, defensive one. Bracken's arguments are provo`cative and compelling, tapping into a deep, cultural fear that has lain largely dormant since the end of the cold war.
