Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Kenneth R. Timmerman is a former Congressional aide and investigative reporter, who has published three books on the arms trade and intelligence issues. For the past six years, he has covered the sell-off of U.S. high technology to communist China for the American Spectator. In Congressional testimony in July 1999, he revealed the existence of an ICBM program in Iran known as the "Kosar," helping to spark legislation that imposed sanctions on Russia for transferring missile technology to Iran. During the 1980s, he covered wars in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq, and worked for over a decade as a correspondent for top defense publications. In November 1999, he declared his candidacy for the United States Senate in Maryland and was endorsed by prominent members of President Reagan's national security team.

I have followed for some time your excellent reporting on the Mid-East, especially Iran. You consistently provide insights and facts nowhere else available to the public. Your professionalism and persistence make a great contribution to our understanding, to the public debate, and ultimately to our national security. - R. James Woolsey, Director of Central Intelligence (1993-1995)

"Kenneth Timmerman has been tireless in unearthing the facts about the diversion of technology from legitimate commercial purposes to the dangerous military programs of states and organizations hostile to the United States and its allies. For this effort, reflected in a prolific output of articles, testimony, memoranda, and the like, he deserves the gratitude of all of us." - Richard Perle, Assistant Secretary of Defense (1981-1987)

5.0 out of 5 stars Resistance Is Not Futile, October 11, 2000

By 

Jack Churchward (Clearwater, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Selling Out America (Paperback)

Mr. Timmerman, a long time investigative reporter with impeccable credentials has compiled and published the results of his investigations (formerly published in different publications) in his new book, entitled 'Selling Out America.' The collection of his published stories in one volume details the chilling breach of US national security and the connections within the Clinton administration. Also included in this well-laid-out publication are his personal notes and insight into how these dealings have been covered up by US officials, including how the Clinton administration removed government employees that failed to follow the new policy of wholesale appeasement to the People's Republic of China and the media counterattack against the Cox Report and any others who dared to investigate.

'Selling Out America' provides the reader with a clear understanding of how the US policy of engagement with the PRC has gone well beyond engagement and entered the realm of kow-towing to the Chinese Communist leadership.

This book is a must read for the American people as the next US president will either clean up or continue this foreign policy disaster.

As citizens, we can make a difference, in the words of Mr. Timmerman: "Resistance is not futile"

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Important Read for All, December 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Selling Out America (Paperback)

Timmerman's latest book is one of the most important books that any citizen of the United States can read. It is especially a must read for any person who is a part of the defense, aerospace, or computer industries in this country. He really fills in the blanks for the questions that so many of us with industry experience have been asking since the late 1980's about what has happened to our national security with regard to technology transfer and why no action has been taken by the Administrative, Legislative or Judicial branches of our government to correct the problems that his book so well describes. My husband and I have spent 40 years in the defense industry, and this book says it all. Thank you Ken Timmerman for having the courage of your convictions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chilling, October 7, 2000

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Selling Out America (Paperback)

This book is a chilling review of what Clinton is willing to do to raise money. His ties to the Communist Chinese is extremely well documented but unfortunately, almost completely unreported by the national media. It is noteworthy that Clinton had full knowledge of the technology transfer to China, and did nothing to stop it. Bill Clinton will probably go down as the most corrupt President America has ever had, the the negative effects of his relations with the Chinese will be felt for generations to come. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in knowing the truth about Clinton's fund raising practices, and the rewards to those who "donate."
