Description: New book, some shelf wear to jacket. 430 pages. This book reveals the behind-the-scenes story of how national missile defence - once considered a discredited relic of the cold war - was revived during the 1990's to address an emerging Third World missile threat. It recounts the political and diplomatic battles surrounding national missile defense during the Clinton administration and the technological obstacles that have bedeviled Boeing, Raytheon, and the other major defense firms involved in the project.
