New York: Public Affairs, 2001. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xxxii, 430, [2] pages. Illustrations. Cast of Characters. Chronology. Glossary. Notes. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. The author is a longtime military and foreign affairs correspondent for The Washington Post. Graham had a distinguished career with the Washington Post as a reporter and editor, focusing primarily on foreign and national security affairs. He is also the author of two books — Hit to Kill, an account published in 2001 of renewed U.S. efforts to build a national missile defense system, and By His Own Rules, a biography of Donald Rumsfeld. The author argues that the United States has no way of preventing a nuclear missile attack upon its territory; thus, this is the story of the "frustratingly elusive dream" of creating a nationwide antimissile system that all presidents since Johnson have pursued. Graham focuses on the Clinton administration, but in doing so, he uncovers the broader complexities and pitfalls of creating an antimissile system. More
