This is a 'must read' for anyone who wants to take a closer look into the world of civil-military relations. What shapes our practices? Where are things headed? Are the old concepts still relevant to the new domestic and geopolitical realities? Read this compilation as a particularly helpful guide for those who may desire to find themselves part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. * Vincent K. Brooks, General, US Army Retired, Visiting Senior Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, and Distinguished Fellow at the University of Texas Clements Center for National Security * This timely and well-crafted contribution to the literature on American civil-military relations deserves careful attention from scholars, practitioners, and the general public. The quality of civil-military relations in the United States depends on more than civilian and military leaders in the U.S. government, and this volume helps readers think critically about the involvement of the American public and the impact of the changing character of war.An essential read! * Suzanne C. Nielsen, co-editor of American Civil-Military Relations: The Soldier and the State in a New Era * Reconsidering American Civil-Military Relations is the best book on the subject in decades. It features all the most important scholars and-hugely consequentially-examines the responsibilities of the military, civilian leaders, and the American public in making our system work. * Kori Schake, co-editor of Warriors and Citizens: American Views of Our Military *
