The United States and the Soviet Union developed missile systems capable of delivering conventional and nuclear explosives against enemy massed bomber formations in the air, and of delivering retaliatory nuclear payloads against ground targets located on distant continents. The missile systems played both a defensive role, and a potential offensive role, which was parlayed to the public as deterrence against attack by the rival bloc. This title provides a detailed overview of the fixed-launch-site strategic missile systems of the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Berhow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841768383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841768380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.36h x 7.30w x 0.20d","brand":"Mark Berhow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938909520127,"sku":"9781841768380","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cf47dd9f-d22d-4c2e-9262-78af38d41d90.jpg?v=1681438391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/us-strategic-and-defensive-missile-mark-berhow-9781841768380","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
