Why are certain weapons acquired in the United States and others
not? Theo Farrell addresses this question by examining the
strategic, institutional and budgetary issues surrounding four
major weapon programmes. Extensive use is made of primary sources
in analysing the origins, development and outcomes of these
programmes. This book presents alarming evidence to show how the
military services manipulate weapons acquisition to suit their own
ends rather than national security. It also analyses how Congress,
motivated by concerns over cost, comes to play a greater role in
shaping programme outcomes once weapons enter production.
