Book excerpt: As the Army's newest major command, one might assume that the U.S. Army Space & Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) would not have a significant historical record. However, USASMDC & its predecessor organizations have spent many decades (since 1957) focusing on issues & experiments with missile defense, space-based communications, & sensor technologies. This updated vol. provides the history of the U.S. Army's activities in space & missile defense. It builds upon the material presented in Strategic Defense: Four Decades of Progress,Ó published by the USASMDC Historical Office in 1995. Includes an Intro. by Joseph M. Cosumano, Jr., Lt. Gen., U.S. Army, Commanding. Color illustrations.

[What is] covered is not only the technological response to the threat but the organizational and tactical development of the commands and units responsible for the defense mission"--CMH website.

Book excerpt: An illegal immigrant-resident alien becomes a national military hero in WWII, awarded the Medal of Honor, and uses his new-found fame to become a civil rights hero. He inspires his entire generation of Mexican Americans to straighten their backs, lift their heads and see new possibilities they were emboldened to pursue. Achievements were attained that have been dismissed by the Black/White Paradigm; hence, comparative analysis between Mexican American and African American civil rights history has been explored and conclusions presented. His military and civil rights legacy is relevant to today's hottest issue, immigration reform.

Book excerpt: Weapons in Space examines how the United States is forcing forward—in violation of international treaties—to militarize space. Based on excerpts from U.S. government documents, award-winning investigative journalist Karl Grossman outlines the U.S. military's space doctrine, its similarity with the original Stars Wars scheme of Ronald Reagan and Edward Teller, and the space-based lasers, hypervelocity guns, and particle beams it plans to deploy in its mission to "dominate" earth. Grossman shows the intimate link between the militarization and the nuclearization of space, and follows the flow of billions of U.S. tax dollars to the corporations that research and develop weapons for space. His book explains the Outer Space Treaty and gives a history of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear power in Space: what it is doing, what it plans to do—and what the reader can do to challenge U.S. plans to turn the heavens into a war zone.
