"Mr. Gertz has performed a signal service by writing this thorough, frightening, and sad chronicle of how we fell from our ability to provide leadership in the quest for peace without appeasement." - The Honorable Caspar Weinberger, former Secretary of Defense, Chairman, Forbes magazine. "I know of no national security reporter in the U.S. who is better sourced or more respected for accuracy than Bill Gertz. His reporting is essential reading for those who wish to stay in the know. And so is this book." - James Webb, former Secretary of the Navy, author of Fields of Fire and The Emperor's General. "This will be the Clinton administration's least favorite book on its foreign policy. But the rebuttals are likely to be long on adjectives and short on refutation, for these tough charges are backed, the Gertz way, by fact after fact." - James Woolsey, former CIA Director. "Gertz takes the reader from the icy waters of Puget Sound, where a Russian merchant ship fires a laser at a U.S. Navy intelligence officer, to secret meetings inside the White House. Every American who cares about this country and where we are going should read this book." - Brigadier General David E. "Bull" Baker, USAF (Ret). From the inner front jacket flap: "The untold story of how Bill Clinton sold out American security for campaign cash and a fistful of foreign policy lies. No reporter has done more than Bill Gertz to expose the threat the Clinton administration poses to American national security. Now, using his unrivaled access to confidential documents and sources at the Pentagon, the State Department, and the White House, Gertz tells the whole sordid story of how the Clinton administration has weakened our military, given comfort to our enemies, and endangered American safety. Betrayal reveals: How the Clinton administration helped China develop its nuclear weapons - which are targeted at U.S. cities; Why the Clinton administration thwarted UN weapons inspectors - and the real reason why Clinton bombed Iraq; Why the Clinton administration has routinely ignored or covered up China's and Russia's dangerous weapons sales; How North Korea secretly built its nuclear arsenal - and why the Clinton administration wanted no one to know; Why the Clinton administration opposed building missile defenses - and still does, despite statements to the contrary; Highlights from the Cox report on how American governmental and corporate ties to China have endangered national security; Why the Clinton administration sends hundreds of millions of dollars to Russia, even as an unstable Moscow stockpiles nuclear weapons for possible use against America; The inside story of an American intelligence officer who was blinded by a Russian laser- and then abandoned as politically inconvenient by Clinton's White House and State Department. Betrayal uncovers the most shocking Clinton scandals of all - a pattern of foreign policy deceit and corruption that is President Clinton's most dangerous legacy to the nation." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
