The late historian Marilyn B. Young, a preeminent voice on the
history of U.S. military conflict, spent her career reassessing the
nature of American global power, its influence on domestic culture
and politics, and the consequences felt by those on the receiving
end of U.S. military force. At the center of her inquiries was a
seeming paradox: How can the United States stay continually at war,
yet Americans pay so little attention to this militarism? Making
the Forever War brings Young's articles and essays on American war
together for the first time, including never before published
works. Moving from the first years of the Cold War to Korea,
Vietnam, and more recent 'forever' wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,
Young reveals the ways in which war became ever-present, yet more
covert and abstract, particularly as aerial bombings and faceless
drone strikes have attained greater strategic value. For Young,
U.S. empire persisted because of, not despite, the inattention of
most Americans. The collection concludes with an afterword by
prominent military historian Andrew Bacevich.
