The sorrows of empire : militarism, secrecy, and the end of the
Republic |
Chalmers, J. |
In Sorrows of Empire, Johnson discusses the roots of American
militarism, the rise and extent of the military-industrial complex, and
the close ties between arms industry executives and high-level
politicians. He also looks closely at how the military has extended the
boundaries of what constitutes national security in order to centralize
intelligence agencies under their control and how statesmen have been
replaced by career soldiers on the front lines of foreign policy--a
shift that naturally increases the frequency with which we go to
war......Though his conclusions are sure to be controversial, Johnson is
a skilled and experienced historian who backs up his claims with copious
research and persuasive arguments. His important book adds much to a
debate about the realities and direction of U.S. influence in the world.
