Even as you read this, Soviet and American spy satellites are orbiting the earth taking incredibly detailed pictures of military arsenals. During the first few hours of the Falklands War in 1982, the Soviet Union had photographed the entire Task Force preparation and knew more of what was happening than the British public.
Today more than three quarters of all satellites are used by the military and now the US is working on the Star Wars programme. The superpowers' reliance on space systems is so great that, should there ever be an East-West conflict, then it could well start miles above the earth.
In this remarkable and revealing book, Christopher Lee describes in simple terms the extent of military involvement in space, explains how so-far secret systems work and explores the frightening consequences of using space as a cosmic battleground. It is a riveting and intriguing tale - but one with a deadly sting.
