Bill Gertz: National Security Watchdog

Yesterday, Admiral Michael Mullen told a conference that China is developing military capabilities that are very much focused on the United States.

There’s not a lot of official, straight-from-the-horses-mouth talk about how China is spending the influx of foreign investment dollars and treasure won from an economy that has grown at a frantic pace, but there is evidence to suggest that China is ramping up to become a rival military superpower. For those who don’t want to experience another cold (or hot) war, this is disturbing news.

It’s also a story that Washington Times columnist and investigative reporter, Bill Gertz has been covering with determination and skill since we started reading and following him… and it’s been a little over a decade now.

If you are concerned about national security issues or fascinated by the way our intelligence and defense communities work, Bill Gertz is someone whose work you should follow.

We’ve added some of his best books to the Daily Uprising Bookstore.

Here’s an interview with Mr. Gertz from CSPAN’s BookTV, which gives some insight into the man behind one of the most influential columns on national defense in the world:
