East Wind Storm

In 1941, Japan sent the code phrase to its fleet: "East wind rain." The result was the deadly sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.Now, Japan sends out the signal: "East wind storm." This time, Japan's target is the world.With little warning, the United States initiates an across-the-board economic embargo against Japan. The reasons behind the move are secondary to the horrifying consequences. Suddenly history is repeating itself, just like 1940 when President Roosevelt closed trade with Japan, Tokyo finds itself on the brink of economic disaster, with only one way out-war. But this time Japan has learned that there are many more ways that it can use to fight back. And this time it is going to use them all.The result is an astonishing campaign of economic, political, and military action against not just the United States, but Russia, China, South Korea, Taiwan-and anyone else who dares stand in its way.Suddenly, the United States's interdiction fleet is at the bottom of the sea, an anti-Communist revolution rocks China, Russian troops are slaughtered . . . and the world is faced with nuclear armageddon-with Japan ready to push the first button. Three men-the president's National Security Advisor, a satellite photo analyst, and an American Nisei CIA officer-find themselves at the forefront of an impossible mission, end World War III before it goes nuclear.Grace, Alexander M. is the author of 'East Wind Storm ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781416508113 and ISBN 1416508112.
