Description

Drawing on his own personal connections, as well as interviews with well-sourced insiders, James Carroll presents a devastating exposé of the Pentagon, arguing that it is an institutionalized fortress that, rather than carrying out policy, actually determines it--and that in the 20th century it actually reshaped the way wars are fought, making civilian populations acceptable military targets. In Carrolls view, the Pentagon is a war machine with a blank-check budget and no oversight. He supports his argument with references to Eisenhower, who warned about the military-industrial complex, as well as warnings by Robert McNamara and John McCain. Carroll won the National Book Award for AMERICAN REQUIEM, which covered his dispute with his military father, a Pentagon worker, and with American policy in Vietnam, and much of this book represents the long evolution of his thinking on military matters and policy.
