Hit to Kill: The New Battle Over Shielding America From Missile Attack
New York: Public Affairs, 2001. First Edition. First Printing. 430, illus., chronology, glossary, notes, index, usual library markings, DJ has been pasted to boards. The author is a longtime military and foreign affairs correspondent for The Washington Post. 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. Condition: good, ex-lib., good.
