Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-06 00:00:00 Bob Eberman O'Hanlon provides a realistic (if perhaps a little squishy) outlook on the future of space weaponization. Basically, he says it's not in the interests of the U.S. to weaponize, but acknowledges that it is likely to happen at some point. As such, he advocates a hedging strategy that staves off as long as possible through pragmatic regime-building while at the same time creating a foundational capacity for rapid launch, reconstitution, and latent weapons capabilities and programs that could be genned up quickly if need be. O'Hanlon advocates a middle ground between the hawkish weaponization crowd and the dovish cooperation crowd that is probably the more realistic and plausible than either.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-10-08 00:00:00 William Schimmelfennig This gets a 5 for existing and me stumbling upon it in a brick-and-mortar bookstore. How we, as a species, present ourselves towards the rest of the universe is likely to reflect on how we are treated .. if we are not alone and a very junior newcomer to galactic civilisation. It would be foolish to dismiss such an option. We should tread with care. Speaking for myself, I advocate sports in space.
