What if the next world war doesn’t start with bombs—but with a trade ban? In "Mines, Magnets, and Mayhem: How China’s Rare Earth Monopoly Could Cripple the West", author Joseph Ejike Ojih (Ph.D.) tears the veil off one of the most dangerous global dependencies of our time. Rare earth elements—essential to fighter jets, electric vehicles, smartphones, satellites, and missiles—are the invisible lifeblood of modern power. And China controls nearly all of them. With explosive clarity and unflinching detail, Dr. Ojih walks you through how China cornered the rare earth market, how America fell asleep at the wheel, and how this quiet monopoly could paralyze Western economies and defense systems overnight. From mines in Myanmar to high-tech factories in Inner Mongolia, from U.S. military stockpiles to global diplomatic chessboards, this book uncovers the truth most leaders are too afraid to admit: the one who controls the dust controls the destiny.

Backed by facts, historical events, and real-world consequences, this isn’t science fiction—it’s a real strategic war happening beneath your feet. If the West does not act now, it may soon find itself negotiating its freedom with a rival that holds all the magnets and metals. Urgent, bold, and gripping, "Mines, Magnets, and Mayhem" is a must-read for every citizen, policymaker, and patriot who believes the next Cold War is already underway—and this time, it's not about oil.
