Helen Describes Star Wars,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: War in Heaven: The Arms Race in Outer Space (Paperback)
This is not one of Helen's better works like New Nuclear Danger.
I bought War in Heaven hoping it would be very descriptive and detailed like NND but it wasn't. Just the same, it is a valuable reference work for anyone who opposes World War In Space and more space junk floating around everywhere, like "floaters" visible in the eyes of ageing people as their inner eye comes apart. It is best suited for students of Star Wars technology dangers. I donated my copy to a public library.

A Well Done anti-Bush Polemical,
By
This review is from: War in Heaven: The Arms Race in Outer Space (Hardcover)
This book is a history of the military uses of space, the treaties that exist about space, and the development of space oriented weapons. It is also a plea that we not militarize space. It is well written, well intended, well thought out but I'm afraid pointless.
Mankind has militarized everything. First the land, then the sea, then the air, next orbiting space based weapons systems and then the moon. And I have to say that I'm not so sure just where I personally stand on this. One of the points made by the authors is that more money should be spent on foreign economic aid and situations like the aftermath of Katrina. This is going to be a hard sell. Most people believe that money given to foreign aid winds up in the hands of the local politicians and is not really helpful to the intended people. Money to the Katrina victums is one thing. Rebuilding New Orleans is an entirely different matter. It's a stupid place to build a city, the French knew it when the laid it out, which is why the French quarter remained dry. With rising sea waters from Global Warming, a rebuilt New Orleans is another disaster waiting to happen. This book presents the side of the anti-weapon, anti-Bush (Eisendrath has also written: Bush League Diplomacy: How the Neoconservatives Are Putting the World at Risk) people. I think they have a hard sell before them
