A propos de cet article

xi, [1], 236 pages. Notes. Index. Dr. Yanarella received his BA from Syracuse University in 1966 and his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in August 1971. After coming to the University of Kentucky in August 1970, he was promoted to professor in 1986. In 1991, he was selected for the College of Arts and Sciences' Outstanding Faculty Teaching Award. In 1997, he was earned the Chancellor's Distinguished Scholar Award for a Tenured Faculty Member. He was chosen as the inaugural Endowed Professor, UK Chellgren Center for Undergraduate Excellence, 2007-2010, and then became Chellgren Faculty Fellow, 2011--. He was also chosen as the 2009-2010 Arts and Sciences Distinguished Research Professor, the College's highest accolade and delivered its annual lecture to a College assembly in 2010. He was awarded the William E. Lyons Distinguished University Service Award for his extensive service activities to the University of Kentucky and the Lexington community. The Missile Defense Controversy is the first book to cover the ballistic missile controversy from its beginnings in the interservice politics of the Eisenhower fifties to the early 19702.

Yanarella uncovers the deeply ingrained attitudes that will determine the future of American missile defense. Ernest J. Yanarella illustrates how pro-missile initiatives reflect America's need to seek the illusion of absolute security, an imperative that grew out of the country's notions about worldly evil and redemption.…
