by James M. Lindsay

"
""The authors provide a sound critique of the standard positions and hyperboles of both advocates and opponents, as well as an accessible primer on the types, advantages, and limitations of various systems and architectures.... Defending America provides as good a 'few years out' unclassified guide as you're likely to find."" - The Washington Times ""Even those readers who have made up their minds should find this book a useful compendium of information and analysis on an old topic."" - Foreign Affairs

Reviews

[Clay Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

This a fair book for the argument for a missle shield. The author explains what will, what might and won't work.
