Edited by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David M. Kennedy, this stimulating volume brings together insights from a remarkable group of scholars, who shed important new light on the changes effecting today's armed forces. Beginning with a Foreword by former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry, the contributors take an historical approach as they explore the ever-changing strategic, political, and fiscal contexts.National securityUnited StatesUnited StatesArmed ForcesUnited StatesMilitary policyNational security355.00973Kennedy David MMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779664203321The modern American military3698546UNINA
