OverviewThe various essays in this volume aim to provide food for thought and a call for reasoned response to realistic security needs. The aim of the editors has been to contribute to the development of concepts that would reduce the danger of conflict by the creation of more stable structures of defense in the context of a conventional defense posture. A variety of alternatives to European conventional defense are presented by German and American specialists, driven, for the most part by similar strategic considerations. The book is aimed at political scientists and students of political science, government officals and military strategists. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Hans G. Brauch , Robert F.
