The book analyzes the contentious debate surrounding the deployment of a strategic ballistic missile defense system in the U.S. since the 1960s. It employs an analytic framework that outlines the prerequisites for successful strategic weapon programs, specifically examining BMD proposals from the Cold War, with a particular focus on the 1967 'Sentinel' proposal. Through this lens, it evaluates the effectiveness and implications of these defense strategies over the decades.
