When President Eisenhower warned in his Farewell Address that "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military~industrial complex," he belatedly focused attention on one of the most frightening problems in America today ~ the inversion of the constitutional and traditional role of the Military as the servant to civilian authority. The reasons for this development, the consequences to both our domestic and our foreign life, and the measures that must be taken to reverse a course inimical to our deepest principles and terrible in its implications for the future are the problems that concern Fred J. Cook in this shocking book. Often brutally candid, always precise, he investigates and documents the historical, political, eco nomic, technological, and psychological reasons for the Military's ascendancy. He defines the alliance of the Military and Industry, and shows the nature and extent of their concerted strength: having put the country on a permanent war economy, they must keep the public mood truculent to justify the need for militarism; having encouraged the Cold War, they must continue to add heat to it. Mr. Cook's final message is that unless we learn to stop this Juggernaut, it will ride down our last hopes for world peace.…
