Description: Strategic Defence Initiative : Us Policy and the Soviet Union, Hardcover by Duric, Mira, ISBN 0754637336, ISBN-13 9780754637332, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Duric (Keele U.) challenges those who say that just because the Star Wars project was not ready for imminent deployment when Ronald Reagan proposed it in 1983, and has never been technically feasible, it did not play an important role in the downfall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Drawing on US but not Soviet records and interviews with US officials of the period, she examines why the proposal was introduced, how the Soviet Union reacted to it, and what role it played at the Reagan-Gorbachev summits. The trick, she says, was to frighten the Soviets into overspending on defense. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
