Book
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Anyone who lived through the fifties and the sixties must remember the powerful fears, and even the irrational insanity, that could grip the imagination, not the least of which was the fear of devastation raining down from the sky in the form of international missiles, armed with nuclear warheads. Phyllis Schlafly, well-known spokeswoman of the far right and Chester Ward, Rear Admiral, U. S. Navy (Retired) put their heads together and wrote this book warning of the dire threat. It is not a plea against nuclear missiles but an argument for even stronger defense, arming America with an invincible armament of nuclear weaponry. ********************************* In my mind, books like this, which pitted liberal against conservative, hawk against dove, went far towards dividing the country. The issues were complex, or maybe they weren t, but the slogans were certainly simplistic . Peace - yes. Surrender - never . This book remains as a sad reminder from those scary, unsettling years of East - West face off called the Cold War. Schlafly and Ward had already co-authored the famous book, A Choice Not an Echo , in support of Barry Goldwater's campaign for the United States Presidency, and also, The Gravediggers , another plea for a strong nuclear armament . turning America, as some said, into a nuclear nudist colony . This is an exceptional copy of Strike from Space , for those who are collecting Cold War books and memorabilia. ********************************* TILE : Strike From Space - A Megadeath Mystery / AUTHORS : Phyllis Schlafly & Chester Ward (Rear Admiral, U.
