Indefensible!
By Herbert Scoville
National Defense
by James Fallows
Random House, 206 pp., $12.95
Rarely has a book been published at a more opportune moment than James Fallows's National Defense. At a time of widespread dissatisfaction with American defenses, we need a clear view of how they can be improved besides pouring more dollars into the same system. This book provides such a view. It should be read by President Reagan, and thoroughly absorbed by Secretary Weinberger and David Stockman before they throw many tens of billions more dollars at the defense program.
