Book excerpt: Hughes presents a comprehensive view of European attitudes toward the controversial Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Discusses major issues raised by Europeans, analyses arguments, and examines the often voiced European objection that SDI might encourage war fighting rather than maintain deterrence. Also illuminates the new threat posed by missiles in the hands of more nations that will possess them by the mid-1990s. Concludes by discussing the possibility that the Soviets in particular may find such defenses to be in their own interest.
