Popis:	Five decades have passed since the first V-2 rockets fell on a defenseless London. Between the time of these first missile attacks and the Gulf War, the United States has worked steadily toward developing the means of defeating attacks by ballistic missiles. The first operational intercept of a Scud missile in January 1991 underscores the progress that has been made in this effort. Knowledge of the milestones in this story should be a source of pride and encouragement to all members of today's missile defense community as they work to refine and increase our missile defense capabilities. It was to provide this knowledge that A Protracted RevolutLon was written. An awareness of how far we have come should help us to understand that our goal of making missile defenses a reality is at hand.
