"The superb book, Twilight War, is a well-balanced, comprehensive and clearly written analysis that examines the critical issue of space policy in the context of international security and fundamental American values. Concerned citizens as well as responsible governmental officials will gain insight." - Lt. General Robert G. Gard, Jr., senior military fellow, Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, "Twilight War is a tour de force: a book that easily and informatively intertwines the historical, technological, military, political and, perhaps most importantly, philosophical aspects of Americas unique, and fundamentally conflicted, relationship to its own ambitions in outer space. Given the importance of space to the future of mankind, [it] is a must read for concerned citizens not just in the United States but also around the world."

Synopsis
Considering the historical background of space militarization and providing an overview of the United States' efforts to militarily dominate space since the dawn of the space age, this book argues that America must either ensure that space-related weapons are verifiably banned for all nations through an international treaty or definitively choose a policy of unilateral space dominance that may lead to an arms race in space and possibly to another cold war. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty designated space as the "province of all mankind." It expressly prohibited nuclear and non-nuclear weapons of mass destruction in orbital space and exclusively limited the use of the Moon and other celestial bodies for "peaceful purposes." But changes in the post-Cold War world, as well as unforeseeable advances in satellite and weapons technologies, have compelled every space-faring nation--save the U.S. and Israel--to go on record as favoring a new treaty for the Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space. In Twilight War: The Folly of U.S. Space Dominance , Mike Moore, former editor of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists , argues that the U.S. merely provokes conflict when it presumes to be the exception to the rule. Rejecting treaty negotiations while further militarizing space renders America unable to lead by example. Moore concludes that instead of trying to stop an arms race in space by starting one, the U.S. must radically rethink its strategy., Considering the historical background of space militarization and providing an overview of the United States' efforts to militarily dominate space since the dawn of the space age, this book argues that America must either ensure that space-related weapons are verifiably banned for all nations through an international treaty or definitively choose a policy of unilateral space dominance that may lead to an arms race in space and possibly to another cold war. Through a careful discussion of the history of space programs, their impact on past policies and events, the tactical and strategic influence of space weapons on the engagement of war, and the potential pitfalls of a dominance strategy, this book concludes that unilateral military dominance of space by the United States would be a supreme mistake and that it would make Americans less secure.
