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).
