The first book to examine what happens to our institutions and to us when the military takes over our public and civilian lives.

Recenzje

"A dynamic work of reportage, punctuated by savory details... It delights. The author is a chipper field guild and canny ethnographer, writing with refreshing honesty about the folk ways of the Department of Defense, which often confound outsiders... Illuminating." Jennifer Senior The New York Times
