Condición: Sehr gut. XIX, 139 S. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - This book is about one of the most revealing cultural fashions of our time, the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). On March 23, 1983, President Ronald Reagan reawakened the long-dormant controversy over the promise or peril of missile defense when he asked the nation's scientists to embark on research designed to make nuclear weapons "impotent and obsolete." Since that day, when the president articulated his Grand Vision, most observers have seen fit to focus solely on the technical and strategic controversies surrounding missile defense whether or not, and how, it would work. We easily forget, of course, that there is no "it"; there is only the "I" in SDI, an appealing vision of a world made secure through missile defense or an appalling vision of a world nearer nuclear catastrophe because of missile defense. There has never been a nonexistent weapons system that has generated more passionate veneration and contempt.
