From the dj: On March 23, 1983, Ronald Reagan stunned the world by announcing a revolutionary plan for a space-based system that he claimed would someday render nuclear weapons 'impotent and obsolete.' The so-called Star Wars speech moved nations toward a new era of nuclear defense - and immediately raised questions of continuing military, economic and political significance for all Americans. Claiming The Heavens is the most accessible, comprehensive report available regarding every major aspect of the Strategic Defense Initiative, one of the most profoundly important, complex and controversial issues of our time. This is an invaluable compendium of fresh reporting, based on hundreds of exclusive inter views with space experts, engineers, policymakers and scientists, as well as on key government and private-research reports and documents.
