A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2016 Perhaps the most basic
national security question that U.S. leaders and the body politic
continuously face is where and under what circumstances to consider
and in some cases resort to the use of armed force to ensure the
country's safety and well-being. The question is perpetual-but the
answer is not. This insightful text helps students make sense of
the ever-changing environment and factors that influence
disagreement over national security risks and policy in the United
States. The book takes shape through a focus on three
considerations: strategy, policy, and issues. Snow explains the
range of plans of action that are possible and resources available
for achieving national security goals, as well as the courses of
action for achieving those goals in the context of a broad range of
security problems that must be dealt with. However, there is little
agreement among policymakers on exactly what is the nature of the
threats that the country faces. Snow helps readers frame the debate
by suggesting some of the prior influences on risk-assessment, some
of the current influences on national security debates, and
suggestions for how future strategy and policy may be shaped.
