The E-Sylum: Volume 10, Number 48, November 25, 2007, Article 6 BOOK IN PROGRESS: CURRENCY WARS An article in Monday's Christian Science Monitor states: "It's time to answer questions about North Korea's long-reported production and laundering of high-quality counterfeit US $100 notes. There's a good opportunity at hand: an unusual meeting this week in New York between senior US and North Korean officials. One of its purposes is to reopen talks about Pyongyang's alleged illicit financial operations." In earlier E-Sylum articles we've discussed the suspected counterfeiting of U.S. currency by North Korea. The interesting thing for numismatic bibliophiles is a note about an upcoming book by the article's author: "John K. Cooley is a former Monitor correspondent in the Middle East and at the Pentagon. His forthcoming book, 'Currency Wars,' deals with counterfeit money as a weapon of covert warfare by governments throughout history." Amazon lists the book's full title as "Currency Wars: How Forged Money is the New Weapon of Mass Destruction" with a May 1, 2008 release date. There is no further information available on the publisher's web site (www.SkyhorsePublishing.com).
