330   $a"With historical case studies ranging from the Revolutionary War to the war in Iraq, this book shows how the US military is caught between two civilian masters - the president and the Congress - in responding to the challenges of warfighting, rearmament, and transformation. By exploring the role of Congress and its unique relationship with the armed forces, Charles Stevenson expands the study of civil-military relations from its usual focus on the president as commander-in-chief and shows how the US military can appeal to congressional leaders in order to resist presidential policies as well as how presidents can pressure a reluctant Congress to support his war efforts."
