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. 606 $aNational security$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 615 0$aNational security 676 $a355.00973 702 $aKennedy$b David M 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779664203321 996 $aThe modern American military$93698546 997 $aUNINA
