ISBN: 9780804769310 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. America's Defense Meltdown: Pentagon Reform for President Obama and the New Congress describes how America's armed forces are manned and equipped to fight, at best, enemies that do not now--and may never again--exist and to combat real enemies ineffectively at high human and material cost.

The Wastrels of Defense : How Congress Sabotages U.S. Security
ISBN: 9781591149385 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this damning expose, a veteran senate defense advisor argues that since Sept 11, 2001, the conduct of the U.S. Congress has sunk to new depths and endangered the nation's security. Winslow Wheeler draws on three decades of work with four prominent senators to tell in lively detail how members of Congress divert money from essential war-fighting accounts to pay for pork in their home states, cook the budget books to pursue personal agendas, and run for cover when confronted with tough defense issues. With meticulous documentation to support his claims, he contends that this behavior is not...

The work will trace the history of various attempts to impose military reform on American armed forces, especially from...

Military Reform: An Uneven History and an Uncertain Future
ISBN: 9780804761635 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. By reference to the fundamental strengths and weaknesses of America's armed forces, Wheeler and Korb establish a definition of what genuine military reform is and is not, and identify what really needs to be done to transform our military. They compare genuine reform with -cosmetic dabbling---that improves nothing and often burdens US combat forces to the point of mental and physical immobility. They focus particularly on the reforms advocated by a small group in Congress and the Pentagon in the 1980s, revealing how these reforms have fundamentally altered the ways in which the...
