Book Synopsis

American politicians have long been troubled by the question of whether or not to deploy a national missile defense system. Politics, not technological proficiency, drives policy decisions.

In effect, the debate has been a dialogue of the deaf and blind wherein each perceives only that which fits their predetermined views.
