Bringing together proponents and opponents of the Strategic Defense Initiative, this book is a comprehensive introduction to the complex debate surrounding SDI. Focusing on SDI's impact on U.S. defense policy, the contributors explore such issues as the strategic implications of the SDI, the technical feasibility of the proposal, its impact on U.S.-USSR relations and the arms control process, and the response of NATO allies to the program. Also included is an appendix of primary documents.
