Book Description:
About the Author:
The pressure to deploy a missile defense system became an ideological mandate during the Clinton years. President George W. Bush unilaterally abrogated the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and ordered deployment of a ground-based system that had not be realistically tested and remained in the developmental stage when he left office. How do we judge his actions?
Richard Dean Burns is professor emeritus of history at California State University, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA.
