Originally published in 1987. In the debate over strategic defense,
the Soviet dimension has not been adequately examined. Dr.
Parrott's multifaceted discussion of the Soviet approach to
ballistic missile defense (BMD) admirably fills that gap. Based on
an analysis of Soviet statements and Soviet weaponry, the study
surveys Soviet perceptions of the shifting relationship between the
superpowers and the effect of BMD on that relationship. The author
then traces the evolution of Soviet policies toward ballistic
missile defense and the introduction of weapons into space. After
exploring the internal budgetary debates that will affect future
Soviet decisions on BMD and space systems, the book outlines Soviet
responses, political as well as military, to the Strategic Defense
Initiative and concludes with recommendations for U.S. policy
toward BMD and arms negotiations.
