weapons and warfare strategies and a comprehensive reference guide

arena for warfare, exploring the military uses of space-past,
present, and future-and specific details of actual space weapons

policy; comparable programs in the Soviet Union, China, and the
European Union; and the full array of international agreements
designed to regulate the military uses of space. In addition, the

percent of the book) directing readers to the essential literature
on space weapons and defense systems produced by the United States,
other governments, research institutions, and additional sources.
