About this title

Synopsis

This book is an analysis of the negotiating and analytical failures that were a result of decontrolling a wide variety of strategic technology- technology that was capable of directly enhancing the military power of potential adversaries. The author goes on to argue that U.S. power projection technologies will be compromised and will result in higher defense spending and enhanced danger to U.S. forces.
