This well-worn copy of “SDI: A Policy Analysis” by Stephen O. Fought offers a unique glimpse into the heated debates surrounding the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), a controversial missile defense program proposed by President Ronald Reagan in 1983. Fought, a respected political scientist and policy analyst, provides an in-depth examination of the technical, political, and strategic implications of SDI, also known as “Star Wars.” Despite its flaws, this book remains a valuable historical resource for understanding the complex interplay of technology, diplomacy, and military strategy during the latter stages of the Cold War. While the tape and creases on the cover reveal its age and use, the clean pages and secure binding suggest a book that has been well-loved and thoroughly studied by its previous owners. For collectors and readers interested in the history of the Cold War, arms control, and the role of emerging technologies in shaping global affairs, this worn but sturdy volume offers a fascinating perspective on a pivotal moment in the nuclear age.
