Carrier Killer - China's Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles and Theatre of Operations in the Early 21st Century

China's anti-ship ballistic missiles have been both mythologized and derided. Carrier Killer pulls apart the extremes to examine what these weapons can do, their historical and strategic origins, and how they affect the balance of power between the United States and the People's Republic of China.
