商品簡介
"With an impressive stable of authors, The George W. Bush Defense Program succeeds in painting a complete if not complex canvas that allows not only national security professionals but also the general public to gain an initial impression of the totality of the Bush era's approach. This work will stand up well when the cold eye of history casts its gaze on the Bush era years from now."---WILLIAM FLAVIN, professor, Peacekeeping Stability Operations Institute, U.S. Army War College
"Stephen Cimbala has brought together a formidable corps of contributors in this wide-ranging, thoughtful examination of national security affairs in the Bush era. Whether the topic is terrorism, insurgency, or traditional warfare, the tone is clear and dispassionate, the insights are fresh, and the policy recommendations compelling." ---JOHN ARQUILLA, professor of defense analysis, Naval Postgraduate School, and coeditor of The Three Circles of War
"This is a balanced, nuanced, and objective analysis of how the George W. Bush administration addressed defense challenges. A distinguished group of contributors surveys a spectrum of defense issues such as military planning and transformation, civil-military relations, coalition operations, Iraq and Afghanistan strategies, weapons of mass destruction, arms control, proliferation, and missile defense. Taken together, the chapters that compose this volume provide important perspective and context to the Bush administration's security policy and strategy. ---Robert L. Pfaltzgraff Jr., Shelby Cullom Davis Professor of international security studies, The Fletcher School, Tufts University
