About this product

Product Information

The expansion of space militarization forms a common thread with the explicit unilateral empire-building of the Bush administration. But just as Star Wars did not begin with the Missile Defense Agency, preventive war theory did not originate with Donald Rumsfeld.Advocates of military space always were on the front line of those demanding global dominance. Loring Wirbel argues that the seeds for the current space supremacy doctrine were sown at the end of the Cold War, in the early days of the Clinton administration. Examining the evolution of space-based tools, Wirbel shows that missile defense strategy is part of a dangerous US move to wage endless preventive war and demand global supremacy over allies and adversaries alike.Star Wars: US Tools of Space Supremacy provides a fresh look at the role of space as an enabler of the Bush administration's plans for endless preventive war. It debunks the benign notions of missile defence, and expands the definition of space supremacy to include the unilateral misuse of space-based intelligence, communications, and targeting technologies.

Reviews
Wirbel builds the case for his arguments painstakingly ... On the whole, Star Wars appears written for space-policy wonks ... Patient non-wonks, however, are rewarded for slogging through these chapters, as they will emerge with a rare level of understanding of one of the most compelling geopolitical issues of our time, ...they will emerge with a rare level of understanding of one of the most compelling geopolitical issues of our time., 'Provides a rare level of understanding of one of the most compelling geopolitical issues of our time'
