Description America's arsenals are full of weapons that they may never use and cannot afford. This work delves into the interconnected roles that the President, Congress, the Pentagon, science and industry play in shaping America's defences.

Publisher Description

The B-1 bomber...the cruise missile...the Trident submarine...the Trident missile...the M-1 tank...the MX missile... Why were these weapons built? Why are they so expensive? Why don't they work as promised? Americans are generally aware that a huge problem exists in the ways and means of defense procurement. What few understand, however, is the actual process of buying a weapon. Unguided Missiles is the fullest and best description of this process yet published, from milestone zero, the determination of need, to actual production of the piece of hardware.
