| Summary: | "Today, military satellites represent 25 per cent of all satellites in orbit. In Spies in the Sky, Pat Norris argues that the development of satellites has prevented nuclear Armageddon. He believes that the 'race to the Moon' between the two superpowers was a side effect of the Cold War, and that the most important event was the use of satellites by military powers to prevent the Cold War becoming a 'hot war.' He then focuses on the regional tensions of today, and looks ahead to what the future holds - a time when satellites could be the only defense against a nervous nuclear power using its nuclear weapons needlessly."--Jacket.
