Description:
Philosophical Library, New York, 1957, Fine Hardcover / Very Good Dustjacket, 190 pages, 6" x 9", dustjacket with slight edgewear, otherwise clean and tight. The first part of this book is historical and sets out to trace the development of rockets and rocket propulsion to the point where the threat to Britain's security from Hitler's V1 and V2 weapons was brought to nothing by the counter-measures of the Allies. The second part is written to analyze the effects, political and military, that long-range rockets carrying nuclear warheads can have on the policies of those nations that can produce and use them.
