Book excerpt: Originally published in 1997, this hitherto hard-to-find study examines the impact that construction of radar stations and command facilities had on the American landscape. With accompanying black and white photographs throughout, the author explores patterns, themes, and trends that created, influenced, and formed the backdrop to the Cold War defense radar program. This study provides an in-depth look at the radar systems, a state by state listing of the infrastructure that supported the systems, and an extensive bibliography. This historic content can be used to understand and evaluate properties associated with America's detection and command and control system.
