| 1 | Tipping Point: Escalation (Unabridged) | John O'Brien |
| In an engagement that many had said was inevitable, the United States and China had exchanged opening shots. While conducting a Freedom of Operations mission, a US destroyer had been sunk by Chinese forces placed on a disputed man-made island. Twelve American sailors rescued from the waters were held captive by China, claiming them to be prisoners of war. In response, the United States mounted a rescue effort while also striking at the Chinese military installation. Fearing retaliation and to be in a position of strength, both countries sortied their fast-attack submarine fleets. Will the leader of the powerful nations attempt to reduce regional tensions or will the two nuclear nations continue their plunge toward a war? |
