Nuclear North Korea Has Targeted America The nightmare scenario from a Tom Clancy thriller? No, unfortunately, this scenario is all too real. Veteran national security specialist William C. Triplett II, coauthor of the bestselling Year of the Rat and Red Dragon Rising, exposes just how dangerous the mad regime of North Korea regime has become-a rogue state dedicated not just to developing nuclear weapons but to proliferating them. Nuclear weapons aren't the only threat. Triplett shows how the North Korean regime sponsors global terrorism, and he dissects the twisted layers of the "cult-based, family-run criminal enterprise" of North Korea's aggressive and secretive Communist dictatorship. Perhaps most shocking of all, Triplett unveils, for the first time, how Communist China, far from being a restraining force on North Korea, is actually the power behind the regime-how North Korea is, in fact, China's knife wielded against the United States. Rogue State reveals: * How North Korean nuclear warheads could hit American soil

* How North Korea is selling nuclear weapons technology to terrorist states and groups

* How Kim Jong Il is training Arab terrorists, as well as espionage operatives to sabotage nearby nuclear power plants in Japan

* How China, as Kim Jong Il's protector and life support system, helped to start his nuclear and missile programs

* How Beijing reaps both political and monetary payoffs in North Korea's illicit arms and narcotics operations

* How Kim Jong Il lives a life of luxury while the North Korean people starve

* Why UN and American food aid to North Korea keeps the regime in power

* How Kim Jong Il ambushed the Clinton administration and cheated on its nuclear weapons agreement Rogue State is a startling read. It proves that North Korea is an even greater danger to our safety than most Americans realize.
