Defense Review

"Outstanding literature relevant to policy on outer space is rare. More often than not, the policy maker dealing with space matters has to trawl through narrow and dry technical tomes, or fantastical speculation of no relevance whatsoever. As an excellent example of relevant writing on outer space policy, Everett Dolman"s Astropolitik is most welcome.highly recommended and rewarding read for anyone interested in current thinking on the direction of US military and civil space policy, and how such thinking might affect space policy in Britain."

RUSI Journal

"a timely cascade of grand-strategic thought"

"A timely text that examines the theoretical, political and policy structures of space.Required reading for serious space-power advocates, this book will dominate the field of space theory."
