On the Edge of Earth

The Future of American Space Power

By: Steven Lambakis

“Interesting and provocative. . . . Recommended for anyone interested in space policy and national security affairs.” —Choice The United States has long exploited Earth’s orbits to enhance security, generate wealth, and solidify its position as a world leader. America’s ambivalence toward military activities in space, however, has the potential to undermine our future security. Some perceive space as a place to defend and fight for America’s vital interests. Others?whose voices are frequently dominant and manifested in public rhetoric, funded defense programs, international diplomacy, and treaty commitments?look upon space as a preserve not to be despoiled by earthly strife. After forty years of discussion, the debate over America’s role in space rages on. In light of the steady increase in international satellite activity for commercial and military purposes, America’s vacillation on this issue could begin to pose a real threat to our national security. Steven Lambakis argues that this policy dysfunction will eventually manifest itself in diminished international political leverage, the forfeiture of technological advances, and the squandering of valuable financial resources. Lambakis reviews key political, military, and business developments in space over the past four decades. Emphasizing that we should not take our unobstructed and unlimited access to space for granted, he identifies potential space threats and policy flaws and proposes steps to meet national security demands for the twenty-first century. “Provides a wealth of details on a wide range of factors that contribute to space power.” —Air & Space Power Journal “Will trigger public debate, generate controversy and add creatively to the policy debate.” —John D. Stempel, author of Common Sense and Foreign Policy

The Agony of Greek Jews, 1940–1945

By: Steven B. Bowman

The Agony of Greek Jews tells the story of modern Greek Jewry as it came under the control of the Kingdom of Greece during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In particular, it deals with the vicissitudes of those Jews who held Greek citizenship during the interwar and wartime periods. Individual chapters address the participation of Greek and Palestinian Jews in the 1941 fighting with Italy and Germany, the roles of Jews in the Greek Resistance, aid, and rescue attempts, and the problems faced by Jews who returned from the camps and the mountains in the aftermath of the German retreat. Bowman focuses on the fate of one minority group of Greek citizens during the war and explores various aspects of its relations with the conquerors, the conquered, and concerned bystanders. His book contains new archival material and interviews with survivors. It supersedes much of the general literature on the subject of Greek Jewry.
