Abstract: Suppose that an alien - untouched by the loyalties, hopes, and fears that animate earthlings - was sent here by the ruler of his remote planet to evaluate 'Star Wars'. Some of the questions on his check-list might be similar to ours. This book looks at the whole issue of strategic defence and evaluates the possible effectiveness of the programme currently in practice.
Notes: "16 questions & answers on strategic defense and space weaponry"
