The active defense of large populated areas against nuclear-armed ballistic missile bombardment has been one of the abiding problems of modern military strategy. In this technical volume addressed to policy analysts and military specialists, former Lt. Gereral Daniel Graham offers a comprehensive blueprint and strategic rationale for non-nuclear protection of urban populations. The system described consists of a combination of spaceborne boost-phase and midcourse interceptors of attacking ballistic missiles, plus a ground-based missile defense, all using non-nuclear kill mechanisms. He also shows how such a system could be militarily sound, technologically feasible, fiscally responsible, and politically practical before 1990. ISBN 0-89011-586-9 : $25.00.
Lt. General Graham er overbevist om, at afspændingspolitikken ikke har virket til gavn for Vesten. NATO-strategien må forlade sit tidligere snævre fokus på Europa og den centrale region. Den sovjetrussiske strategi er global, det må NATO's mod-strategi også være, mener forfatteren.
