Growing up during the 1980's I have long been obsessed with the so-called "Star Wars" program. It has led to an enduring interest in (mostly outdated) books about the projects and concepts of that time. Recently I added a few books to my collection:

The Shape of Wars to Come by David Baker, 1982
























Beam Weapons: The Next Arms Race, by Jeff Hecht, 1984

























War Without Men: Robots on the Future Battlefield, by Shaker and Wise, 1988
























Military Space Forces: The Next Fifty Years, by John Collins, 1989

























The Origins of SDI: 1944-1983, by Donald Baucom, 1992

Lastly, I present the 1986 tune on related subjects "SDI & ABM" by S.O.B. From the record "Leave Me Alone"
