*ARBA*
Highly recommended.
*Choice*
Those who read this encyclopedia will be left in no doubt that its
subject matter, though technical in nature, has an importance which
goes far beyond its more obviously military aspects, for as the
author rightly points out, banks and stock markets, and thus the
world economy itself, could be crippled by interference with
satellites. It would therefore be a useful addition, not only to
libraries with military or technical interests, but also to those
concerned with international affairs in general.
*Reference Reviews*
Asst. Prof. Bert Chapman, a government information librarian at
Purdue University, deserves commendation for authoring this
impressive work, which fills a gap in space-warfare scholarship.
This significant and comprehensive treatise provides layman and
expert alike a voluminous amount of data, both historical and
contemporary, on space weapons and their development. … The book
will serve as a valuable primary resource for researchers, space
enthusiasts, policy makers, employees of space agencies, officers
either currently on staff with space commands or NASA or awaiting
assignment, and individuals seeking information about the
relationship of space to national security.
