Winning Space

Mehr zum Buch

"When President Donald J. Trump announced the creation of America's sixth branch of the military, the United States Space Force, many in Washington scoffed, but U.S. rivals in China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea took notice. Since the end of the Cold War, these American foes have chafed under the full-spectrum dominance that the American superpower has enjoyed globally. They have identified space as a key strategic domain where they can challenge, and possibly defeat, the United States military. And, depriving the U.S. military and its economy of access to space during an international crisis could spell doom for the United States in other strategic domains (land, sea, air, and cyberspace) ... The net decade presents U.S. policymakers one last chance to preserve the superpower status that America fought two world wars and the Cold War to build. Time is not on our side. We are on notice, but we have not noticed."-- From the jacket cover
