DOWNLOAD EBOOKWeapons in Space examines how the United States is forcing forward—in violation of international treaties—to militarize space. Based on excerpts from U.S. government documents, award-winning investigative journalist Karl Grossman outlines the U.S. military's space doctrine, its similarity with the original Stars Wars scheme of Ronald Reagan and Edward Teller, and the space-based lasers, hypervelocity guns, and particle beams it plans to deploy in its mission to "dominate" earth. Grossman shows the intimate link between the militarization and the nuclearization of space, and follows the flow of billions of U.S. tax dollars to the corporations that research and develop weapons for space. His book explains the Outer Space Treaty and gives a history of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear power in Space: what it is doing, what it plans to do—and what the reader can do to challenge U.S. plans to turn the heavens into a war zone.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Strategic Defense Initiative was a defense program supported by President Ronald Reagan that aimed to take the arms race to outer space. Though never carried out, and dubbed Star Wars by its critics, it was the nail in the coffin for the Cold War and therefore considered successful, at least in part. This thorough profile takes the reader behind the scenes and helps explain why this initiative still holds interest for leaders looking for new ways to defend the U.S.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume reveals the plain facts about Star Wars as seen by Bowman, who in his 22-year Air Force career was director of the Advanced Space Programs Development and controlled the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency studies. These studies covered high-energy laser development, advanced surveillance spacecraft, advanced space vehicle subsystems, and other Star Wars-related research. Bowman begins with an overview of the development of missile systems and their impact on international security and the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) treaty. He also covers the strategic and technical implications of anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons and the ballistic missile defense system. Though the proponents of the Star Wars argue that it is a purely defensive system and a moral alternative to Mutual Assured Destruction, the author believes that it would be a Death Star system, destroying Earth and its inhabitants.
