Book Description:
In the past four decades, the United States has spent $85 billion pursuing the fantasy of an effective missile defense system to shield our nation against the threat of a nuclear attack. Recent public tests, while less exotic than some of the original 'Star Wars' proposals, were spectacular failures and call into question the whole program's rationale. Neither the land based system proposed by the Clinton administration, nor the alternatives proposed by earlier administrations, would ever work regardless of how much R&D money is channeled into the project. Rather than enhancing national security, these doomed efforts would provoke a new arms race and alienate key allies. The authors apply their extensive insiders' expertise to argue that thoughtful diplomacy is the only real answer to meet America's national security goals.
