About this title

Synopsis:

This work is a fascinating overview of Americans' complex and occasionally uneasy relationship with military service, from World War II to the age of global terrorism.

· Up-to-the-minute coverage of personalities including important figures from the war on terrorism and an extensive list of resources, including print and electronic media and blogs

· Primary documents include a speech by Bill Clinton on gays in the military and a transcript from an NPR interview with Donald Rumsfeld

Book Description:

For Americans, the redefinition of "national security" that began on September 11, 2001, has sparked a raging debate. Shall we reinstitute the draft? Shall we hire soldiers from the for-profit sector? How can we use the Internet and electronic media to fight terrorism? These are new questions, and we're just beginning to answer them.
