Items related to Dragonstrike: The Millennium War
Synopsis
At 06.00 on February 18, 2001, the roar of the engines from twelve Russian-built SU-27s ripped through Vietnamese airspace. Within minutes burning phosphorus, shrapnel, and delayed reaction mines were falling on Vietnam's main naval base. Operation Dragonstrike had begun. The Far Fast was at war. The world was in crisis. Four days later American satellites detected Chinese nuclear missiles being prepared for launch.
This is an authentically and authoritatively constructed account in which the United States, Asia and Europe become dramatically and unavoidably enmeshed in the war. It has the page-turning quality of best-selling fiction, yet the events here make up a real-life scenario which horrifies Western defence planners.
Dragonstrike provides an insider's view of what the coming world crisis may be like. The Dragon will strike. Where, when, and how we don't know, exactly. But it will, and Hawksley and Holberton are convincing and compulsively readable in their predictions.
