Not surprisingly, the debate has broken down along well-worn lines. Arms control advocates dismiss the idea of missile defense as a dangerous and costly folly. Missile defense advocates argue that the U.S. should move aggressively to defend itself against missile attack. With clear and lively prose free of partisan rhetoric, Defending America provides reliable, factual analysis of the missile defense debate. Written for a general audience, it assesses the current and likely future missile threat to the United States, examines relevant technologies, and suggests how America's friends and foes would react to a decision to build a national missile defense. Lindsay and O'Hanlon reject calls for large-scale systems as well as proposals to do nothing, instead arguing for a limited national missile defense. 606 $aBallistic missile defenses$zUnited States 606 $aNational security$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xDefenses 615 0$aBallistic missile defenses 615 0$aNational security 676 $a358.1/74/0973 700 $aLindsay$b James M.$f1959-$0738149 701 $aO'Hanlon$b Michael E$0552048 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823342903321 996 $aDefending America$93955496 997 $aUNINA
