Condition: 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.

Since the public unveiling of SDI in 1983, discussion has focused on the technical and strategic aspects of the project. This book takes a new look, examining the cultural repercussions of SDI. This work is based upon interviews with prominent advocates and foes of SDI, and through careful analysis of editorial comments, transcripts of television newscasts and ads, and political rhetoric, the author explores how the vision of missile defense has profoundly affected American culture.
