| Samenvatting: |
An impermeable defensive shield over Amerika wich will 'render nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete'?
Star Wars is astronomically expensive (the sky's the only limit. SStar Wars is totally unnessesary and in clear breach of the ABM (anti-balistic missile) treaty - the greatest achievement so far in arms limitation - yet is likely to provoke a strong reaction from th USSR. Star Wars is (probably) not technically feasible (according to Isaac Asimov and serveral American Nobel-Prize-winning physicists) and is certain not to be completely secure. Most significant of all, Star Wars is yet another example of the Americans riding roughshod over their NATO allies.
This major new book assesses all the arguments fully and proceeds to make a powerfull - indeed unanswerable - case against Star Wars. With contributions from Bulkeley, John Pike, Ben Thompson and and E.P. Thompson, and with a Forward by Dorothy Hodgkin, OM, Star Wars will become one of the most important and influential books on defence in our time. |
