Summary

"I would caution readers to dismiss Stephen Leeb's warnings only at their peril." -Thomas Kaplan, chairman, Tigris Financial Group  The American Dream is close to being replaced by a living nightmare: Key commodities that are essential to our daily lives and that are  widely believed to be abundant are running critically short. Even  worse, the Chinese are doing what they can to monopolize the world's  dwindling resources.The U.S. is now largely dependent on our greatest economic rival  for rare earth elements as well as a host of other minerals-all of which  are absolutely essential to the development of alternative energies and  are critically important for our defense industry, computers, cell  phones, and other electronic devices.    While America has been fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,  China has focused its substantial muscle on securing vital commodities  from these and other lands to upgrade its infrastructure and industrial  strength to meet the resource challenge head-on.China has wrapped itself in the green flag of combating climate  change while systematically discouraging other nations from adopting  similar policies in a bid to gain time to achieve its plans.    RED ALERT is a provocative and frightening look at the growing  political, economic, and social power of China and the threat that  nation poses to the Western world. It lays out how the Chinese are  strategizing to overtake the United States as the world's premier  economic power-and details how our failure to respond quickly will  result in a permanently lower standard of living for Americans. Peppered with startling statistics, charts, and evidence of how China  continues to expand its economic reach, RED ALERT is both controversial  and powerful in its scope.
