The Chrysanthemum Contingency (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595280483)

As the U.S. expends its major international efforts on its war against worldwide terrorism, the United States' apparent interest regarding East Asia is at an historic low ebb.

Into this power vacuum come China and Japan, each quietly and relentlessly pursuing their own individual goals aimed at controlling the region.

Several American foreign correspondents stationed in Tokyo become entangled in a critical revelation of secret negotiations between the two Asian powers that would, if successful, result in the exit of U.S. influence in the area and a dangerous future for all concerned, as nuclear arms and military capabilities expand for national defense purposes.

A compelling story exposing current activities which may soon threaten world peace.

Another reality based novel by the author of "The Fugi Agenda," "The Lotus And The Rose," "USSA 2020," and "Decay of Ivy."
