Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book reviews and discusses the thoughts and laws that have shaped the United States military. It examines topics such as how the military has been used throughout US history, its role in major conflicts, and why the US spends so much money on its military. The author investigates the delicate balance between civilian control of the military and the military's ability to advise the government and effectively carry out orders. The book is highly critical of the military-industrial complex but also lauds the genuine sacrifices made by servicemembers. The author does not shy away from controversy and takes a critical look at military policies and actions since WWII, arguing for a re-evaluation of America's role in the world and its military spending priorities, and why interventionism has often ended in expensive and deadly quagmires.
