Description

Bradley Graham (au). Even as America faces a world of difficult-to-detect, low-tech, unconventional threats, the Bush admin. has put its faith in a missile defense system or “shield” to keep us all safe. Here, Graham tells the long, strange story of how missile defense, once considered a discredited relic of the Cold War, was revived during the 1990s to address an emerging Third World missile threat, particularly from N. Korea, Iraq, & other “rogue states.” Over the past half century, no proposed weapons system has drawn more argument or dollars than missile defense, & Graham explores the origins of the ongoing debate, the costs to the nation of having failed to resolve it, & the wisdom of continuing to pursue what we used to call “Star Wars.”
