Peace Is a Three-Edged Sword

Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, Inc, 1964. Second Edition [Stated]. Second Printing [stated on Dust Jacker]. Hardcover. Very good/Good. 22 cm. xvi[2], 253, [1] pages. Title page illustration. Map. Index. Lloyd Mallan. An expert in the field of astronomy, satellites and missiles, Mr. Mallan is the author of 18 books, including Space Science, Men, Rockets and Space Rats, Man Into Space, Amateur Astronomy Handbook, and Peace Is a Three-Edged Sword. Derived from a Kirkus review: Mr. Mallan, according to the former Commander-in-Chief of the North American Air Defense Command who wrote the brief Foreword to his book, is ""nobody's patsy"". This is a statement to keep in mind throughout the some 78 interviews with leading military and civilian authorities on our national defense which follow. Mallan's purpose is to blast "the commonly misinformed story" of a ""military-industrial complex"" which might plunge us into war. We're in good hands, he contends, and there is no reason to fear an accidental holocaust. He has assembled many valuable facts and some interesting opinions on this sensitive subject.
