Scott D. Sagan, Kenneth N. Waltz
W. W. Norton, 2002
Simple debate, tremendous consequences
This books puts together two colliding authors on whether the proliferation of nuclear weapons is a good idea or not. Waltz, one fo the premier figures of realpolitik, argues (brilliantly, even though I disagree with him) that proliferation is a good idea. Sagan argues there are too many organizational risks in the proliferation system. The two present their arguments, and then respond to each ...

The Star Wars Enigma: Behind the Scenes of the Cold War Race for Missile Defense3 reviews
Nigel Hey
Potomac Books Inc., 2006
This Is the Way the Cold War Ends
Author Nigel Hey revisits recent history in his entertaining and excellently researched narration of the Cold War's end. He examines the science -- or lack thereof -- economics and politics of the still controversial Strategic Defense Initiative -- "Star Wars." We find that the notion of a defense shield was Ronald Reagan's response to MAD -- mutual assured destruction. Reagan considered MAD ...

Grand Space Opera (Cg Challenge)2 reviews
Ballistic Publishing, 2005
Outstanding artwork
I'm familiar with the quality of Ballistic Publishing publications, but this book is exceptional. Not only is the concept (science fiction inspired art by a group of contest participants) inspiring, the selections shown are as well. My daughter is an art student and she's 'borrowed' this book for her library.
I would hope that Ballistic, in conjunction with the other sponsers of this contest, ...

Paul Zarchan
AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Ast, 2007
Outstanding text for learning about missile guidance
Professor Zarchan's text is an outstanding treatment of missile guidance and control. The derivation of proportional navigation and other missile control laws provides insight and the additions for ballistic missiles are particularly relevant for today's missile specialists. The computer programs provide a quick reference, and enhance the derivations. A must have for developers, ...

The Shield of Faith: A Chronicle of Strategic Defense from Zeppelins to Star Wars2 reviews
B. Bruce-Briggs
Touchstone Books, 1990
Excellent book on strategic defense
B. Bruce-Briggs has done the impossible, I think. He has written a book about strategic defense that is not only very readable, but actually quite funny at times. And he does this without "dumbing down" the material. This book, however, is out of print. But if you can find a copy in the library, it is well worth your time to read it, especially with the renewed talk about a "star wars" defense ...

Brookings Institution Press, 2001
A persuasive and fascinating case
In Defending America: The Case For Limited National Missile Defense, authors James Lindsay and Michael O'Hanlon collaboratively offer cogent and practical recommendations on building an effective missile defense system. Their suggested plan requires a critical change in the 1972 ABM Treaty and highlights the so-called "boost-phase interceptors" for land, sea, or air. Preferring extensive research ...

Ballistic Missiles in the Third World: Threat and Response (The Washington Papers)1 review
W. Seth Carus
Praeger Paperback, 1990
Recommended Reading by nervegas.com
Carus presents a simple argument with a complex and serious consiquence. Namely that the logistics of ballistic missiles favor their adoption by developing nations, and that the low accuracy of these weapons favors the use of nuslear, biological, or chemical warheads. The notion that an air force is essential for defense is met with the reality of cost and foriegn dependencies in the developing ...

If you are worried about ...

Brassey's, 1999
Frightening
Arieh Stav is to be commended for collecting the 18 essays by international military defense experts knowledgeable concerning the growing threat of ballistic missiles.
As Uzi Landau notes in the opening essay, the end of the Cold War was accompanied by high hopes for global peace, but what has emerged instead in the ensuing decade-plus has been increasing disorder, particularly in the "New ...
