The Armageddon genie -- nuclear terrorism -- is out of the bottle, freed by bin-Laden's heedless avengers and "a pissant dictator with Ray-Bans and a fondness for movies," as America's president describes North Korea's ruler a few hours before announcing a decision that will mark him forever as either a hero or a mass murderer.

Al Qaeda’s master bomber launches jihad in America. An assassination in Korea sucks China and America toward war, thrusting America’s president into a high-stakes encounter with China’s ruler. Diplomatic, military, and covert action enmesh America, China, Korea, Japan, and Iran, forcing American leaders into a struggle to defeat evil without becoming evil.

Code Word: Persepolis anticipates headlines as Iran’s uneasy neighbors maneuver to resist a new era of Persian dominance while America and China carry their own rivalry to the region. It sweeps from fighter cockpits to the Situation Room to Capitol Hill, from Washington to Tel Aviv to Tehran, pulling readers into the lives and struggles of warriors and leaders.
