U.S. Military Service - A Reference Handbook (Hardcover)

This work is a fascinating overview of Americans' complex and uneasy relationship with military service, from World War II to the age of global terrorism. 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. The end of the Cold War ushered in a new kind of war that has already made conventional tactics and strategy obsolete. How has the U.S. military responded? In U.S. Military Service: A Reference Handbook, Cynthia Watson, professor of strategy at the National War College, analyzes the major issues that are reshaping the military in the era of global terrorism - problems of recruitment, urban warfare, effective use of electronic media, and rebuilding failed states.
