Eyeing the Red Storm examines the birth of space-based
reconnaissance not from the perspective of CORONA (the first
photo reconnaissance satellite to fly) but rather from that of
the WS-117L. Robert M. Dienesch's revised assessment places
WS-117L within the larger context of Dwight D. Eisenhower's
presidency, focusing on the dynamic between military and civilian
leadership. Dienesch demonstrates how WS-117L promised Eisenhower
not merely military intelligence but also the capacity to manage
national security against the Soviet threat. As a fiscal
conservative, Eisenhower believed a strong economy was the key to
surviving the Cold War and saw satellite reconnaissance as a
means to understand the Soviet military challenge more clearly
and thus keep American defense spending under control.
